Virginia is an open primary - anyone can vote. Republicans can make sure Webb doesn't even get the nomination by going to the polls on June 13 and voting for Harris Miller.
There are those that don't like this tactic, but it is legal.
Webb has been pretty harsh and is sounding a bit like the guy who ran in OH - the Iraq War vet. I am not sure he is the threat that Time is making him out to be - but he is a stronge candidate.
It's not a sure thing, but it's Allen's race to lose. He's in the driver's seat right now. The problem is that Virginia's been steadily drifting more back to the left the past few years as yet more votes fill the DC suburbs and the Tidewater area. Those two big urban/suburban areas are dragging the state ever-leftward, especially northern Virginia.
I don't think Webb can win, but then again, I didn't think Tim "The Eyebrows" Kaine would win either, and he did.
