Yeah, perhaps Allen could take up the cause of hate crime laws for gays again. That'll teach 'em.

George Allen isn't leaving anything to chance. He sat back and let them fight each other through their primary. Now he's started advertising. And nobody has gone after Webb... yet.

If Allen is not careful he's going to lose his seat! He seems to be stuck on Iowa right now - there is plenty of time for that.

Thats not that long a period of time. Not for campaigning! Webb wants a series of debates I heard!

By the way, Webb as a former Pubbie was supposed to cut into Allen's base, remember? Unfortunately Allen actually gained a point, so that doesn't at this time seem to be coming to fruition.

As Peggy Noonan wrote last week, Mr. Webb is Democratic standard-issue. Nothing new there.

Senator Allen is just getting his campaign into gear. All will be well.

Duh.

The Democrats have consolidated behind the nominee. Twisted headline.

Debates?!? Oh my gosh! Woe is us! If only we had an experienced politician facing Webb. [wringing hands]

Didn't James Webb's name come up as in the thick of the kerry questionable but obscured Navy discharge matter?

Was he one of the guys in the know, but didn't reveal it?

Jerry Kilgore ran a lousy campaign for governor. Simple as that.

Well you are from Virginia and seem confident that Allen will win so I believe you rather than the polls.

Every time one of our preferred folks loses, we chalk it up as a "lousy" campaign. It wasn't as simple as that.

Webb just got his (new) party's nomination, so it's understandable that his number in polls went up. Interestingly, so was Allen's.

I wouldn't even say I'm confident he'll win. I'm just not worried because he's only ten points ahead without having done any campaigning and virtually no advertising.

Could Webb defeat Allen? Yes. Do I think it will happen? Not without something MAJOR occurring - like Allen being caught in a love triangle with Jim McGreevey and Jack Murtha.

Federal polls always show Virginia looking more competitive than it is.

Allen has committed no firing offense, has a positive record as governor, and the state leans Republican. Webb is a novice and will make mistakes in a state where no Democrat can afford to slip up.

Allen by 10 points.
