Virginia is for Lovers...Lovers of Child Porn That Is

A couple of recent polls have actually shown Senate candidate and author of Kiddie Sex novels, Jim Webb, gaining a slight advantage over George Allen.

Kind of sick.

American Legion Demands Kerry Apologize For Implying Troops Are Stupid

Mentally-Disturbed "Liberal-Democrat-Blogger" Attacks Senators George Allen and Elizabeth Dole in Charlottesville

This is pretty much the low behavior you would expect from a so called "Progressive."

However, if you click on the story, you'll see that the Democrat Party has selectively ripped out a piece of the video where the lunatic blogger is being subdued by security.

Then they put it on YouTube, under this title: "Allen Staffers Attack Man At Campaign Stop."

I have another title that the Democrats would like: "Poor John Wilkes Booth Hung by Evil Pro-Lincoln Supporters."

Real Clear Politics Downgrades Dem's Senate Prospects

For the past couple of weeks, the prediction had been a net pick-up of 6 seats for the Democrats, which is the exact number they would need to take over the Senate. Now Real Clear Politics has lowered the projection to 5, which would mean the Republicans would hold on to the Upper House.

Florida: Brown-Waite Cruising by 13 pts.

Ohio: Schmidt Leads Wulsin by 8 pts.

This is good news, because she was considered one of the most vulnerable Republicans in November, ever since she narrowly won her seat in a special election earlier this year.

Maryland: Steele and Cardin Tied at 46

You will notice that the Green Party Candidate is taking in 3 percent of the vote. That might end up deciding the election.

Alabama: Riley Cruising, Leads Baxley by 21 pts.

Too bad there are no competitive house races in Alabama, because Riley's big win could help any GOP candidates who are in an iffy situation.

Colorado: Musgrave Ahead by 10 pts.

Washington: Reichert Ahead, 50 to 47

Maine: Snowe Has Huge Lead

According to Real Clear Politics, the latest Rasmussen poll gives her a 46 pt. lead.

My hope is that she has some coat-tails, and helps Mr. Woodcock beat Mr. Baldacci for Maine's governorship.
