Daily Kos Elections Weekend Digest

Is Virginia becoming a blue state?

With virtually all of the attention in the political world devoted to matters of debt and DC haggling, it'd be forgiveable for one to think that there was no other political news this week.

To be sure, the political countretemps in DC spilled over to the world of polling and electoral news this week, with new polling suggesting that there are, truly, few winners in this latest round of fisticuffs between the president and the Republican contingent on the Hill.

That said, there was a little bit of good polling news this week for President Obama. He still appears to be holding his own in two key states in his 2008 coalition, and the GOP field still appears undefined and underwhelming. Add to that a couple of more states that edged closer to clarifying their 2012 maps, and there was at least some electoral chatter worth perusing.

So, with that in mind, head to the other side of the jump for the week that was on the campaign trail, in a (mostly) debt ceiling-free edition of the weekend digest.
