No bias in that opening sentence. Sheesh....
I got Allen one vote yesterday - my "not interested in politics" friend says he would vote for Allen on his lunch hour.
Voted this morning at 9:00 AM in Sudley Springs Area (small Rat precint 2200 voters)in Manassas of Prince William County, VA. Turn out was normal, 4 voting machines lines of 5-10 people. Quite a few holding Dim-moron sample ballots. I got offered a ballot and flatly told them No. Cast votes for Allen, Wolf and Stewart, Voted for marriage amendment and against all bond (going into debt issues)
On my way to work I talked to a guy at the gas station who lived in a conservative precinct and he told me voting was very heavy for 6 AM. On the way to work I passed through another conservative precinct at the firehouse and it was packed. Car lot wass full and lots of cars were parked on the roadside. Cops were there to regulate traffic.
Yes, the usual stuff from the AP...but am really interested in seeing Allen do well.
No kidding..I was just about to post the same thing saying the editors of the nations papers and newswires are absolutely getting free passes today on blatant Bush bashing...remember everyone..82% of the MSM are REGISTERED DEMOCRATS.
Seriously? Wow! I guess objective writing (or any semblance of) is simply no longer on the ciriculum anymore
The article is rife with bias, but this statement seemed to be the capper.
Especially good news, it seems, given that rain is falling across much of the state.
The Macaca Race. Nothing sexier than two ugly white guys mud wrestling. /s
There is always high turnout in Northern Virginia, I lived there for 20 years. They are highly educated voters with professional jobs that allow them to take their time voting. They are also overwhelmingly Democrats except for a handful of GOP precincts. So it tells me nothing that there is heavy turnout in northern Virginia. I want to know about the turnout in Richmond, Norfolk, and Roanoke.
Well...it's sounds like good news for both sides.
In Northern VA, the lady in the article says it a record number of people turning out.
So...we will see.
I work in No. VA -- two VA coworkers, moderates both, said they voted straight-ticket GOP for the first time in their lives today.
Hopefully the rain will keep some demos home.
Oh yeah, Jean Jensen is a Democrat hack. I would not trust her as far as I could throw her. Very scary that she is secretary of elections. The previous Republican secretary was a very good friend of mine and I know that she ran fair and clean elections in Virginia.
And the rest probably claim to be "independent."
I have a real problem with candidates who are life-long whatever and suddenly change their party affiliation.
Webb is one example, and the woman running against Jim Ryun-the runner- in Kansas is another.
I feel that either you were not a very good supporter of your former party and didn't really understand the planks of the party platform or else you are very easily swayed into ANY position and therefore are not to be trusted in any party nor in any position of power.
Is it just me? Being too paranoid?
It just plain bothers me, and I cannot support such candidates.
Excellent!
I voted this morning in a rural Va. district. I was number 260 to vote (or thereabouts). I voted same time of day in 2004, and was number 180. The line was longer than usual, lots of farmers voting. And, I am in a gerrymandered district with an unopposed Dem congressman, so people were only there to vote on the marriage amendment and the senate race.
Of course this is unscientific anecdotal information from one polling place, but I took it as a good sign. There was NO evidence of a disaffected Republican turnout from what I saw. Quite the opposite.
And, it looks like we are in for rain this afternoon. BWAHAHAHAH!
five democratic votes await total count in Florida

Excellent.
