Go George Go!
Perhaps the Democrats' accusations of Allen using the "N word"
has awakened the Reagan Democrats in rural Virginia. LOL!
Rats overplayed their hands with this "N" word allegation and now everyone knows the Rats are playing the race card for political purposes.
They're doing the same thing they did to John Ashcroft. He's been in public service for YEARS and all of a sudden they try to demonize him.
It won't work.
Now Mr. Webb is dealing with his own "N" word story! Hah!
Rumor has it that a former 3rd grade classmate of Allen's will go public with an accusation of Allen using the term "doody-head."

Sabato's sabotage, take 2
Did you notice a pattern of reversing the pro dim polls of earlier this week? This is just one poll that is great for Conservatives. Several more have been announced this morning!
LLS
Webb is positively Nixonian: Accuse your opponent of some loathsome act or behavior, and watch while he spends the rest of the campaign defending himself.
It especially works well when the media is complicit, as it is in this race.
Hence, Webb used anti-Semitic campaign literature in the primary, and has tried to make hay of the fact that Allen's mother was Jewish, while at the same time portraying Allen himself as being anti-Semitic for his reaction to the below the belt hit. Then Webb's people throw out this bogus claim that Allen uses the N-word.
What it all boils down to is whether the VA voters are smart enough to figure out what's happening, and stick it to Webb for trying to pull a Richard Nixon.
Reported this morning that Webb used to drive around Watts in L.A., pointing fake guns at blacks and calling them n*****. Not good. Plus, Webb has not come out and denied his use of the slur while Allen has. If the Dems want to play who said what when 30+ years ago, it would be interesting to hear what members of Webb's platoon has to say about their LT.
Yup. Virginians have an innate sense of fair play and justice.
Moveon seems to believe everyone lives in their rabidly hateful psychosis.

The blogosmearing of Allen has helped Webb a little with blacks- from 63% to 72%, but it didn't hurt Allen with blacks- 22% to 21%.
The Washington Post has beaten the drums over the macaca word in dozens of articles and opinion pieces. Yet today they ran a story titled "Webb Denies Ever Using Word as Epithet." They are referring to what they like to call the N word, with which they equate the M word, but actually spell out the M word. Got it?
Guess where this headline ran? On the Metro section front page.
Thank you GOD for answered prayer !!!!!
I think Webb's sleazy campaign tactics will backfire on Webb, because everything else we know about Allen does not corroborate the bogus accusation that he's a rascist. He has such a friendly, relaxed personality that I can't imagine him being a true rascist towards anyone. His supporters can't imagine that either and they're not going to jump off his ship. I could see him using some racial slurs when he was a teenager or in college but not in a serious way, just like 90% of the young guys I knew back then. Those guys are now successful professionals and like me they laugh at the stupid, insensitive stuff we said back when we were teenagers. This is going to backfire on Webb because it's going to bring out a big turnout of Allen supporters who will vote for Allen as a way of counter-attacking against these incredibly sleazy campaign tactics by Webb. I say Allen wins by 5-10 points.
"Allen a five-point lead, 49% - 44%."
That's about where it's been for a while. I don't see it changing much right through election day.
