It was a hot and sticky day to hit the trenches, but Early, lieutenant governor candidate Jay Katzen, and attorney general candidate Jerry Kilgore did it anyway.
Just hours before they arrived in Roanoke, another battle was heating up -- this one between supporters of Earley's opponent Mark WARNER and the city of Roanoke.
