(his vaginal probe law squashed that!)
President Barack Obama leads all the Republican presidential candidates in Virginia, with his 50 - 42 percent margin over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney his biggest lead over Romney in this election cycle, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Putting Gov. Bob McDonnell on the ticket as the GOP vice-presidential nominee does not help the Republicans carry the state, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. In a matchup of President Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden against Romney and McDonnell, the Democrats win 50 - 43 percent.

• 54 - 35 percent over former House Speaker Newt Gingrich;
• 49 - 40 percent over former Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum;
• 49 - 39 percent over Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.
