I've lived in the state of Virginia for almost 12 years now, and I've seen the gradual progression of the change that has been taking place over the last several years from used to be Republican lock to what is now almost a tossup.

Incorrect. The seat in question now was held by Chuck Robb for 12 years prior to Allen capturing it.

Virginia has gone to the Republican Presidential candidate in every election going all the way back to 1968. Local elections are a little bit different, but the name George Allen carries a lot of weight around here, and he's hanging on by his fingernails to a guy who barely even discussed issues at all.

I'm telling you that before too long, the days of Virginia being generally reliable for the Republicans are going to be over if some things don't change. It isn't something that I'm looking forward to, but the leadership leads to start listening and paying attention to what the heck is going on in this country.
