1. Done! 75% say 'yes'. That's only 92 responses though

I'll take it anyway. The last thing this country needs is another conservative airhead who's good at talking football.

done, but I really have no idea

can Webb beat Allen? What do the polls indicate.

2. I know I'll be voting for

Webb. Even though I was in the Army I'll forgive him for being a Navy guy.

5. Yes

which is why I voted for him Tuesday. He's waaaaaay too conservative for me, but the bottom line is we need "D's" in the congress.

13. He can if he doesn't get Diebolded. He also

has to understand that winning this one is going to be a top priority for the repukes and there is nothing they won't do - including throwing so much mud that they'll be in it up to their asses.

What worries me about Webb is that when The New Republic ran a solid piece of investigative reporting last month calling out Allen on his racist history, Webb's response was that the article hit "below the belt."

Allen has enough skeletons in his closet to sink his candidacy - if they are hammered home. Webb has got to take Allen's past, shove his face in it, and make him own it. It's not going to be enough to point out that he's a Bush rubber stamp. He's got to crack the folksy veneer and expose the faux Southerner, racist graffiti artist and Confederacy lover (to the point where he named his only son after a Confederate general/KKK Grand wizard) underneath.
