VA-SEN: Poll: Allen's Lead Over Webb Shrinks To Three Points
By Greg Sargent | bio

GOP incumbent Senator George Allen's "Macaca" remarks have turned the contest with Dem challenger James Webb into a real race. An exclusive Survey USA poll done for WUSA-TV shows that Allen's once-double-digit lead over Webb has shriveled to three points -- 48% to 45%. From the WUSA analysis: "Allen has lost support across all demographic groups, but in particular, among younger voters, he has gone from Plus 23 to Minus 17, a swing of 40 points. In Southeastern VA, Allen has gone from a 2:1 lead to a tie, a 31-point swing." Don't mess with Macaca!

1. I have my fingers crossed on this one. I hope Webb pulls this one

off.

2. Still waiting

for Bush to rebuke Allen for his racist slurs, but mind you I'm not holding my breathe.

3. for the sake of your health

I'm glad to hear that. I'd guess Bush "doesn't know anything about" what Allen said.

4. I'm sure Allen will see to it that he falls behind completely

He fails to disappoint us lately. Always good for some extremity inserted into a bodily orifice. There will be more to come, I'm certain :-)

5. Too bad he couldn't have hung on for a while,

spending GOP money uselessly and knocking others out of the way before sinking himself. Oh well, we have to take it as it comes.

6. Oh, and according to Rassmussen and ARG,

Lieberman and Lamont are tied!!!!!
