[[Washington, D.C.]] is overwhelmingly liberal and will vote for Obama; however, with three electoral votes its significance is limited. Although [[Virginia]] has usually been Republican territory in Presidential elections, this year it has become a competitive state.  Democrats will work on increasing the voter turnout in the northern part of the state, with a high population of D.C. transplants.  McCain's strength is in the southern regions and among the military.  In the Carolinas, which usually votes Republican, McCain is seen as having the edge, but Obama may be competitive in these states if he mobilizes the African-American population.  [[Georgia]] is a state where a third-party candidate [[Bob Barr]] could make a difference.  While most voters favor McCain, he could lose enough votes to Barr to lose the state, especially if there is a large black turnout.  [[Florida]] is a very close swing state, most famously known for its role in [[Election 2000]].  An important constituency in this state is the [[Jewish]] population, who are continuing to support Obama over McCain.  Cuban-Americans, who are most upset with Obama's statements that he would meet with Fidel Castro, back McCain.
