Poll shows Virginia Senate race is dead heat
Incumbent Sen. Allen and challenger James Webb tied with 43 percent

NEW YORK - Incumbent Republican Senator George Allen and Democratic challenger Jim Webb are tied in the latest MSNBC/McClatchy poll conducted by Mason-Dixon. Each candidate received the support of 43 percent of likely voters in Virginia with 2 percent supporting a third candidate and 12 percent undecided.

The results represent a rapid change in support for Allen, who was once not only thought to be a safe bet for re-election but perhaps a candidate for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.

If Allen were to lose, the chances of Democrats gaining control of the senate would be increased. The Democrats need a net gain of six seats to take over control of the Senate.

But in addition, Allen’s relationship with President Bush has not helped in today’s Virginia.

5. Don't underestimate the power of racism in Virginia.

It's not a pretty place in that regard.

7. If That Were True We Wouldn't Be Seeing This

He's exposed himself as a racist and has subsequently hemmorhaged support.

9. To be fair, they're still the only state to have elected a Black Governor

Although hopefully, Massachusetts will change that this year.

Then, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia gathered up a glob of tobacco-laced saliva. He used his lips to squirt it out, as if he had practiced. The spit landed just at the tip of my shoe. He grinned, but didn't say a word. Then he walked into the building.
