After weeks of watching from afar, Virginians get their closest look at the Democratic presidential aspirants in the next six days, as the main challengers to front-runner John F. Kerry launch a fast and furious drive for votes in Tuesday's primary.

The campaigns of Sen. John Edwards (N.C.), who is riding a win in South Carolina, and retired Army Gen. Wesley K. Clark, coming off a narrow victory in Oklahoma, are focusing on Virginia as a place where they may be able to parry the momentum of the Massachusetts senator, who has won seven states.

Both challengers will be making numerous appearances -- Edwards will be in Virginia every day until the primary -- and both will put up television advertising in multiple media markets. Clark and Edwards, both born in the South, claim Virginia and neighboring Tennessee, the only other state with a primary Tuesday, as home turf.
