WaPo has an article about the Virginia Senate race between Republican Incumbent George Allen and Democratic challenger former Navy Secretary Jim Webb.

Here's an Excerpt and the link...

"Virginia Sen. George Allen (R) and Democratic challenger James Webb are virtually tied in a race that could shift the balance of power in Washington and which reinforces the differences between Northern Virginia and the rest of the commonwealth, according to a new Washington Post poll.

Allen gets 49 percent, compared with 47 percent for Webb, within the 3 percentage point margin of error for the poll conducted over three days last week. With few respondents saying they are undecided and most seemingly locked in for their candidate, the poll indicates that the candidates' strategies for turning out supporters will be vital and that changes in the national political climate could tilt the outcome."

The fact that George Allen could still be pulling half the votes makes me wonder what's in Virginia's water.

Real Clear Politics has Allen up by 4.7% in an average of several polls.

Right now, the media talking point have the dems taking everything. If they don't win it all HUGE, their associates in the media will declare it a huge loss for the dems.

Murtha should have those troops in Okinawa by December 25.

From Chanti's discredited, relocated and downsized blahhhg:

"The democrats are now established as the party to beat this November 7, and without a huge democrat win, they will have lost in the war of perception. At this point, the liberals have to win everything really big in order to have a meaningful victory."

No. You don't "piss us off."

Namo plays with you the way a cat plays with a cockroach.

The rest of us feel pity for you.

We know that it's tough to be a Republican in the closet nowadays.

Interesting. Even the ghost of an opposition member can get to you.
