| Description | Democratic Party officers Sunday said they remain hopeful either Barack Obama or running mate Joe Biden will campaign in West Virginia before the Nov. 4 general election.
Once written off by Obama, the polls are showing the Illinois senator has closed the gap between he and Republican John McCain in West Virginia and now leads here, said Tom Vogel, executive director of the West Virginia Democratic Party. Given the error factor, the state with its five electoral votes could be a toss up, he said.
''We keep asking them to come,'' Vogel said.
The campaign says a visit is planned in West Virginia, ''we just don't know when that is,'' he said.
Biden, a senator from Delaware, will be just across the Ohio River in Marietta at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday in an outdoor rally at Armory Square at the old Ohio National Guard Arnory on Front Street, the last stop in a three-city campaign tour in Ohio. Gates open at 5:30 for the free rally and admittance is first-come, first-serve,.
