I totally agree. Mark Earley was pathetic in 2001. The 2005 gov race was Kilgore's to lose and he lost (those Hitler death penalty ads didn't help). It was said on the radio this morning that if Allen had just stayed at home, drinking milk with Oreo cookies and watching The Grand Ol' Opry, he would have won by double digits. I agree with that, too.

On the other hand, I was pleasantly suprised with Drake's win in the 2nd dist. Moveon.org started running ads on TV trashing her back in March, and all the local media was on the Kellam bandwagon.

Yes, I was glad for Drake--but my favorite race of the night was VA-05 where Goode totalled smoked Weed.

Yes, that seems to be the predominant thought pattern from those not living in Virginia.
