Chairman Cranwell on the Kojo Nnamdi Show on WAMU
July 30, 2008
The Old Dominion is traditionally conservative and hasn’t supported a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964. But that isn’t dampening the enthusiasm of Virginia’s Democrats, who are launching a massive ground campaign for Barack Obama and other candidates. Kojo talks with the party chairman about his strategy for the fall.
