LYNCHBURG, Va. (November 5, 2009)--Students at Liberty University, which was founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, are credited with producing an upset victory for a Republican candidate in Virginia.
Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. encouraged thousands of students at the conservative Christian school to register to vote in Lynchburg instead of their hometowns.
State Assembly Delegate Shannon Valentine, a Democrat, held a 1,400 vote lead Tuesday night before the final ballots were counted at a precinct where Liberty students voted.
That precinct produced 1,964 votes for Republican Scott Garrett and only 324 votes for Valentine, giving Garrett a roughly 200-vote victory.
Jerry Falwell Jr. said he's happy and pleased that the students made such a difference and proud of them.

Way to show these hate mongers some class and diplomacy Observer.
Way to go Observer, your facts tell the whole story. Not like the hateful lies that are usually voiced here.
(CONTD) The Credit Default Swaps ( basically insurance policies) were bundled & sold over & over in the world once Phil Gramm had removed oversight from them. CDS & even risky loans to homeowners would not have mattered had the housing market bubble not burst. Republican greed killed Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae. Republican greed brought down Wall Street & the financial markets. Obamanomics are working--slowly but surely--as witnessed by the painfully slow economic recovery just beginning & the slackening of layoffs. You cannot in nine months undo the damage done by Republicans in the last 8 years. But with intelligent people in the White House who have intelligent solutions, America is on the road to recovery. The history books I have read do not match the misinformation & outright lies you consider the truth. Take a look in the mirror if you want to see petulance!
