The hotly contested U.S. Senate race in Virginia between two popular former governors remains a dead heat.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the Old Dominion finds Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican George Allen both earning 46% support. Three percent (3%) prefers some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

Our side has the national trend on its side-Obama is not popular in Virginia-but it has demographics and fundraising against it. Tim Kaine has been a much fundraiser than George Allen so far and the population growth has been in northern Virginia (aka NOVA), which is populated by government workers. Anything can happen.
If Governor Bob McDonnell is the Vice Presidential nominee, it could help Allen over the top.
If we can’t flip Penn’s electoral votes, we need Va and NC.
This doesn’t look too promising.
Shucks BIGTIME that old Virginny is now a bonafide swing state.
Has the liberal media put out any ads asking for people to send them new racist buzz words yet?
They vote but they don't control things.
There are about 70,000 people who work for NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS. They live mostly in Arlington and Alexandria and participate freely in politics ~ which the government employees are not allowed to do.
They control TWO Congressional districts.
So, that's it folks ~ ain't as big as they make it out to be.
BTW, McDonnell's screw up that left us without a presidential primary makes him not terribly popular. If he were running as VP with Romney Kaine would probably win overwhelmingly.
Actually the fed gov’t workers all live in MD
Here in Northern VA, and in particular Falls Church, we are all major defense contractors (Northrup Grumman, CSC, Dyncorp, General Dynamics all HQ’d in the same office park in Falls Church)
However, like gov’t workers, contractors are on the teet of the federal govt
Virginia not too long ago was a ONE PARTY STATE ~ the Democrats had it all.
who wins va on prez level wins this seat
what is truly sickening is that after all the rats have done to our country, any rat can get elected to anything.
this should be 85-15
it is not looking good for the future.
McDonnell is to blame for only Romney and Paul being on the ballot?
These guys ran as Conservatives ~ they're doing politics the same way Rockefeller Republicans did it. They cheat!
