hdavis@wdbj7.com Virginia's Governor is stumping
for Barack Obama this weekend in
Pennsylvania before Tuesday's big
primary there.

Tim Kaine was one the first
governors to endorse Obama.

There's speculation he could be
Obama's running

mate if he wins the Democratic
nomination.

Governor Kaine has repeatedly
said though - he intends to serve out
his term, which ends in January 2010,
but he has not flatly ruled out a spot
on the ticket.

starts tonight at sundown.

Throughout our area and around
the world, Jews commemorate being freed
from Egypt when they were slaves.

During Passover, observant Jews
don't eat bread or other foods made
with leavening.

Instead they will eat matzah,
which is like a cracker, made with just
flour and water.

The holiday lasts eight days.

TO GET THE HOKIE SPIRIT UP AND REALLY
GET PEOPLE INVOLVED AND PUMPED FOR THE
GAME.

Fans young and old began tailgating
early Saturday morning-- some coming
all the way from Indiana for this final
spring scrimmage.

Kevin Hopson IT'S AMAZING THE FAN BASE
AROUND THE COLLEGE AND IT'S A
PRIVELEDGE TO APART OF IT.

Others like Mike Dickerson have long
since graduated but spending time with
old friends BEFORE the game-- brings
back memories of times past and better
times to come.

Mike Dickerson IT'S A GOOD SIGN TO SHOW
WE'RE INTO THE TEAM, SUPPORTING THE
TEAM AND IT'S A BRAND NEW YEAR.

STANDUP

the final spring scrimmage was
canceled last year due to the tragedies
here at tech-- but this year come rain
or shine crowds of atleast 30 thousand
are expected.

Angela Marshall works at Virginia Tech.
After this past week- she says today's
sea of maroon and orange showcases how
these students triumphed over such
tragedy.

Marshall IT'S VERY SIMILIAR TO
COMMENCEMENT LAST SEASON-- WE NEEDED A
CELEBRATION OF WHAT IT WAS TO BE A
HOKIE.

and an opportunty to meet other
students who make the Hokie campus so
diverse .

WE HAD SOMEONE EARLIER THAT WAS MAKING
WINE BOTTLE CREATIONS AND WAS OUT
TALKING TO US-- AND JUST MEETING PEOPLE
THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF CROWDS, OF THE
HOKIES THAT ARE OUT THERE.

special affinity for Americans and
chose to

spend, not only his 81st birthday, but
also this, his third anniversary as

Pope ... here in the U-S.

(LOCATOR: New York, NY)

Here, Pope Benedict has addressed,
head-on, the issues that have plagued
the

church in America. In his homily this
morning, he spoke, again, about the sex

abuse scandal. In front of
three-thousand at New York's Saint
Patrick's

Cathedral, he assured priests and nuns
that he was close to them as they

battled the damage left by the scandal.

SOT: (10:16:06) I JOIN YOU IN PRAYING,

SINCE THIS WILL BE A TIME OF

PURIFICATION FOR EACH PARTICULAR CHURCH
AND COMMUNITY AND A TIME FOR HEALING.

Benedict then boarded the Pope-mobile
for a procession up fifth avenue

...where thousands waited just to see
a glimpse of him. Tens of thousands

more will greet him Sunday during high
mass at Yankee Stadium. Teri Okita,

< Webb in the SkyTracker7 Forecast
Center. An area of low pressure
tracking toward the NEWS7 viewing area
will keep clouds and occasional showers
in play tonight through Sunday. Lows
are forecast in the 50s. Cooler on
Sunday with highs in the 60s.

Sunday may offer a few thunderstorms,
especially in the afternoon. If some of
us break out with a little sunshine,
we'll certainly have to monitor for
storms - especially in the Piedmont.

We're keeping in a 40% shower chance
Monday as the current system slowly
pulls off the Carolina coast. Highs are
forecast near 70. A few instability
showers could occur Tuesday and
Wednesday (20%), but mainly those two
days look more cloudy than anything.
Highs will be around 70.

A ridge of high pressure should build
into the area for the late week with
increasing sunshine. We'll likely warm
into the mid 70s Thursday and Friday.

Looking way down the road, next weekend
is looking dry with highs in the 70s.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Showers likely. Low: 54

SUNDAY: Showers continue. Possible
storms. High: 65

Have a great night! Meteorologist Jay
