Jim Webb Surges Ahead of Allen
by Pamela LeaveyGeorge Allen was once considered to be a possible Republican contender for ‘08, like Rick Santorum of PA, it appears Allen has slipped far from the grace of voters in his home state:
Democrat Jim Webb has surged ahead of Republican George Allen in the last poll of the campaign, conducted for News-7 by SurveyUSA.
The survey shows Webb with 52% of the likely voters, with 44% going to Allen.
The wingnutsphere is in a panic… as the New York Post predicts: A GOP MASSACRE: A BLOODY TUESDAY
UPDATE: Jim Webb is looking confident tonight at a rally in Alexandria, VA with Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer…
AP reports that the “most of the heavily contested, down-to-the-wire races are east of the Mississippi River, in states with relatively early poll closing times. If a Democratic rout is going to happen, it will be clear from the first votes.”
Showdown contests in Virginia, Rhode Island and New Jersey should be harbingers of trends in the Senate. House races in Indiana, Kentucky and Florida will provide election-watchers initial clues as to which party will control that chamber.

That, I point out, is from the New York POST, not the Times. Either they’re trying to use doom and gloom to rally the base or they’re in deep, really, deep s%$t and they know it
