I guess no one wanted to be first to post the bad news.

[The Worthless Miracle]

My God, they really went with Webb on that one? I don't understand...

[GnL]

Unfortunately, this is news that isn't news.

[mrsmith]

I think this will be a pyrhhic victory for the media.

But it still hurts.

Maccacca trumps Allen!!!!!

I found a lot not to like about Allen during the last year, but it's good to see him concede a close decision with grace and dignity, without filing lawsuits and without his supporters making hysterical claims about vote fraud and vote obstruction. Democrats could take a lesson.

[MNJohnnie]

Congratulations on your victory. You got Allen. We will remember now when 2008 comes around and you start singing the praises of McCain just which side the McCainiacs REALLY are on.

[boomop1]

Allen's real raw deal, he is a good guy but now has this stigma to haunt him.

[maineman]

I'm really curious how many women voted for this creep. Webb, by his own comments/writings, really has a deep hatred towards the female gender. Really curious.

[Jrabbit]

After everything the media threw at this man, I'm surprised he did as well as he did. Now, Virginians can be proud of the perv that they elected.

[dfwgator]

Burns and Allen are gone. Say goodnight Gracie.

"Sometimes winds, political or otherwise, can blow the leaves off branches or even break limbs but a deep-rooted tree … will regrow in the next season,"

Unhinged by his loss, George Allen morphs into Chauncy Gardener.

Jim Webb

Two purple hearts, Two Bronze Stars, One Silver Star and the Naval Cross

Served the Reagan Administration for 4 years eventually becoming the Secretary of the Navy a post which he resigned rather than reduce the size of the Navy.

Webb's only son is currently serving in Iraq.

Despite a life of distinguished and honorable service the majority of FR tried to deceitfully slander the guy as pedophile.

It is disheartening that Freepers have reached a point where all that matters is the (R) next to the name

Disgraceful.

[353FMG]

Will there be any pornography included in future legislation? Virginian voters, how could you?

[RamingtonStall]

Please tell your Republican Party that the Conservatives in Fly-Over Country are totally disgusted to see Senator George Allen refuse to demand a Re-Count.

We have watched challenges over machines, Dead People Voting, etc. in Ohio for years whenever the Dems Lose. Now, we see a Republican Senator toss in the Towel without even taking advantage of his automatic re-count. Are Republicans Stuck on Stupid or just too f'n lazy to fight?????

We are going to remember this lack of fight for many years into the future when the Republicans ask for money and ask for us to work in the 72 hour campaign push, Serve as Poll Observers for the GOP, etc., etc., etc.

Totally dismayed and Disgusted in OHIO.

Looks like "Allen for President" just turned to maccaca.

[wouldntbprudent]

This is just gross.

It's incredible that Allen went from a top-tier presidential contender to falling on his butt.

[muawiyah]

Allen's speech was total BS. Last thing any of us want to do is "bind together" with a guy who writes cockbooks.

Shame on Allen, shame on the Republican party leadership who asked for him to do this.

[Prost1]

So, we now have Webb and Tester, both conservative "democrats" in the Senate. And we have "blue-dog" democrats elected to the House.

We call Snowe and Collins Rinos. We will the DU call these people? Certainly not Dinos.

[sport]

The Democrats regaining control of the Senate was a misnomer. The Democrats have always controlled the Senate. For a while there were more Republicans that Democrats but the Democrats,thanks to a number of RINOs were always in control. The Republicans jumped[I would like to use another word]when they said "jump". They jumped to the height the Democrats specified and danced to the tune the Democrats called.
