Final Obama campaign rally to be in Va.

Sen. Barack Obama will close his presidential campaign Monday night with a rally in the Manassas Park area.

Virginia is a battleground state for the first time in decades. Virginia has voted Republican in each presidential election since 1968. But recent polls indicate Obama is slightly ahead.

Since receiving the delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination, Obama has visited Virginia at least 10 times, including Thursday in Virginia Beach.
