WASHINGTON -- Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean holds a commanding lead in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in Virginia, a new statewide poll found.

The Mason-Dixon poll, conducted last week for the Daily Press and other media, confirmed that the race for the Democratic nomination is still up for grabs in the final two months before the state's Feb. 10 primary.
In fact, more Democratic voters were undecided - 28 percent - than were committed to any of the nine presidential candidates.
