And impressively so, since Miller spent well over $1 million on TV ads. That's actually the ironic part of the above observation that there's been a lot of advertising: There has been, but it's almost exclusively been attack ads savaging Webb. In light of that, if the 41% figure is legit, then Allen's got significant problems IMHO. I think that's almost entirely an anti-Allen vote (or anti-GOP/anti-Bush by proxy). If it's legit, then this could very swiftly become a toss up race once Webb goes on TV.
Could be, but as I said, Allen is a very high profile and known quantity.
Webb's gotten a lot of free media from the Wa Post, etc, and already has name recognition. That last 10 % (from 41 % upwards) is gonna be hard for him to get, IMO.
This state isn't as red as some people put it up to be. Remember that ALlen won his last campaign 52% to 47% and bush won here in 2004 by 54-46
