I can't say I'm that surprised... here in Virginia, Allen's losing support big-time and his redneck peons are getting frustrated.
I just hope he doesn't win... I thought he was a miserable governor.

If this doesn't sink him, then the inmates really have taken over the asylum.
What kind of uncivilized society have we sunk to?

I'm in Charlottesville.... we overwhelmingly voted for Webb and Albemarle County, traditionally pretty Republican, voted for Webb as well.
I think Allen lost the election more than Webb won it. It's 2006, not 1960, and Virginians no longer want a bigoted redneck cowboy-wannabe, who isn't even from Virginia (California) running things.
I also think it was a referendum on Bush... many Virginia conservatives would argue that Bush is not really a conservative at all. The fact that the ban on gay marriage passed shows that this wasn't a shift in ideology... Virginia is still a pretty conservative state.
But people are tired of all the crap.
