Webb defeats Allen by 2,200 votes
The novel had nothing to do with it.
ANd this includes how many absentees? Military votes?
I don't think it was Webb's book. It was the 24/7 negative coverage and distortion of Iraq by the MSM that is giving us so much trouble tonight.
So, they have been counted and it's a done deal.
Negative... No more recounts or lawsuits. We lost because our candidates sucked. Not a freakin one of them was able to frame the debate and make it about the issues.
Cantwell was down by about 4000 votes in 2000 and ended up winnning by 2500 a week later !
Actually I think the better statement would be: What a macaca!
The GOP in Virginia is broken. Both Allen this year and Kilgore last year had the worst campaigns. I thought it was a fluke with Kilgore (and a weak candidate) but this makes me think there's bigger issues.
They voted for that pervert? Va lost more than it gained here.
As losers tonight go, I'll take Santorum over Allen any day of the week and twice on Sunday. However, this night cements a RINO in our future as a nominee. Rudy's the guy in 08.
Allen has as much chance of becoming President now as Jessica Alba.
say, that reminds me... I have yet to see that STUPID, "ROVE, you magnificent bastard" picture tonight???
Where is it???
Allen campaign now saying they are up 5-6k votes.
That is highly unsusual. MOST places allow absentees to be RECEIVED until midnight, election night, then they start counting.
How anyone could see Allen as a viable presidential candidate when he can't even win in the state in which he was governor is beyond me.
B. Absentees were not counted.
C. Various precincts were not accounted for, one of which was my son's. His right to vote has now been violated and he's pursuing legal recourse tomorrow.
Agreed. Top to bottom. They have had their chance, and have been found wanting.
I think the Republicans played not to loss, rather than played to win, and in life as it is in sports, playing not to lose is the surest way to lose.
Virginia's SBE website doessn't show this!
