A pair of new polls yesterday showed Democrat Mark R. Warner strengthening his lead over Republican Mark L. Earley in the race for the Virginia governorship.

Mason-Dixon Political/Media Research Inc. put Warner in front by 6 percentage points, with 48 percent to 42 percent for Earley. Libertarian William Redpath had 1 percent, and 9 percent were undecided.

"Hey all, I just rejoined FR after lurking for about a year. I had posted a little before but forgot my password. Oh well..."

Lemme guess, lemme guess...were ya Nervous Norvous? HockeyTown4Ever? Or maybe yer Eschoir and yer breaking yer Court Order to Cease and Desist posting on FR!! Nawww, you were NEVER a FReeper and I'll bet you don't even have the cajones to deny my accusation before the "freeperforpresident" Screen Name fades into obscurity!!

BTW...if I'm wrong (highly unlikely, IMHO), just tell me your old Screen Name and I'll get my FRiends at the main office to contact you with yer old password and you can make me look like a loon...but you won't!!

Turn out is a key in VA

That's what it will all come down to. That and the right alignment of the stars. Even though this isn't good news, we could still win.

- A swing through by the President would help,
- The NRA letter should help (and not be reflected in these polls),
- Surely the weather eventually has to turn and we'll get some rain.
- The GOTV effort should help.
- The listing of party affiliation on the ballot should help.

There are a lot of factors and still a lot of things we can do to help.

As for myself, I'm thinking it may be time to sacrifice a few live chickens...

Mason-Dixon reported Warner heavily favored by women and blacks. Earley was stronger with whites and males.

Not this woman.

with Earley leading in central Virginia, the state's conservative heartland.

Proud to live there too!!

"...werent' you supposed to take care of Schapiro? ;-)"

Make no mistake, my FRiend, Schap's steel MY beech!! However, the Good Guv made it known that he'd prefer I didn't whup no Leftist Medyuh Whore Butt until after Earley wins on 11/6...so I'm holding off a few days.

Probably a wise move, especially if they were to link me to the Allen/Gilmore/Earley operation.

FReegards...MUD

BTW...didja hear the rumor that Dubyuh's lining up an Earley event so close to the election that the Nattering Nabobs of Negativism ain't gonna have time to spin it as unfair and uncalled-for?! That carpetbaggin' Collectivist Chi-ComWhore Mark Warner ain't gonna know what hit him!!! LOL!! Gonna be a busy six days.....

Earley's just a RAT in disguise. One gun a month? NAACP? Voted for a tax increase?

Don't know what the heck you've been reading. Earley is pro life. He's for tax CUTS. Despite his screw up years ago with the one gun/month, he's pro 2nd Amendment with two subsequent NRA endorsements and an endorsement from the LEAA calling out his strong support for the right of self defense.

There is a huge difference in this election! Get your whiny rear end down to the booth and pull the lever for Earley.

BTW, welcome to the forum.

"Hey all, I just rejoined FR"

He's no Virginian, either, is he, Mud? A Virginian would have written the above, "Hey, Y'all""

"...union goons!"

No need fer fear there...as the Big Labor vote has become increasingly Socialist, the Real Blue-Collar Men have left the Unions and the DemoncRATS IN DROVES, only to be replaced by whiney, wimpy Big Guv'ment BureaucRATS who couldn't intimidate themselves out of a wet paper bag!!

The Left is All Bark, No Bite...why do you think they've resorted to this whole Anthrax Terrorist Tactic?! It's 'cuz they're gutless, spiritless victims...in a word, the Left is Dominated by "POLTROONS!!"

Saw Mark Earley greeting voters at the Vienna Metro on my way to work this morning. He was getting lots of attention. Mark Warner sent his paid workers to pass out literature but didn't show up in person as far as I know.

Will you be at the rally in Springfield on Saturday?

VOTE EARLEY!!!

Oh, go away.

Even IF Warner wins and drags Kaine along with him, we'll have Jerry Kilgore as Attorney General. We'll also have an almost veto proof majority in the House (they stuck w/Gilmore by the way), we'll still have the state senate, two U.S. Senators and 7 out of 11 congresscritters, with one very GOP leaning and endorsing Indy.

That's hardly a liberal sinkhole.
