Better news than I thought
After being upset earlier this week that Webb wasn't ahead in the polls, it's looking like Virginia wants to join the 21st century after all and send this confirmed bigot Felix Macaca Allen packing.

He's now dead even with Webb, with NoVa leading the way:

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 sad thing is reading the specifics you find out the people in our state are just retarded. For instance:

Allen, 54, can be content that after what might be the most tumultuous campaign any incumbent has seen this election cycle, he still has a bond with Virginians who elected him governor in 1993 and senator in 2000. A strong majority of those in the poll say they think of him as honest, trustworthy and a leader, and 57 percent approve of how he's doing in the Senate.


When he was governor he did nothing but benefit from national trends in economic growth, and set the stage for the car-tax obsessed asshole that would sink this state into the red until Mark Warner came along and rescued us from disaster. As a senator he has done nothing. From all the reports I read he's bored, doesn't even bother showing up, and when he does, he just copies other students' work. Add on top of that his bigotry and general fat-headedness, and why do they like this guy? Oh, wait, it's that last part.
