McCain and Palin Planning Fairfax Event

Arizona Sen. John McCain (R) and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, will campaign together Wednesday in Northern Virginia.

McCain and Palin, who is the one who has really been drawing the crowds, will hold a rally at Fairfax High School.

Delegate Chris Saxman (R-Staunton) and former Attorney General Jerry W. Kilgore (R), co-chairs of McCain's Virginia presidential campaign, will hold a conference call Monday morning to announce the details of the visist.

Del. Jeffrey M. Frederick (R-Prince William), chairman of the Virginia Republican Party, sent an email to GOP activists Sunday night telling them "clear you calendars for Wednesday."

If it occurs, the event will be McCain's first public campaign event in Virginia since before the Feb. 12 primary. McCain's Democratic opponent, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), has made three campaign swings through Virginia, and has a fourth scheduled for Tuesday, when he will appear in Southwest Virginia.
