Down to the wire in Virginia
By Michael J.W. Stickings
A new Mason-Dixon poll gives Republican incumbent George Allen a four-point lead over Democratic challenger Jim Webb in the Virginia Senate race -- 47 to 43. Allen has "regained a narrow lead" after "a two-month freefall in voter support" that saw his lead dwindle from 16 points down to a virtual tie.
As Kos explains it, "this is essentially a ground game" now. Webb will campaign with former Virginia Governor (and presidential drop-out) Mark Warner towards the end of the campaign and "the DSCC is dumping money into the state".
It ain't over yet. Webb -- a distinguished military man in contrast to the un-ethical, buffoonish jackass that is Allen -- still has "a fighting chance".
