Now, let's make up a plan.
seriously. still a lot more to be done.
bitch.
HA!
Love it.
This election overthrow was brought to you by one word:
Macaca.
Who knew that French racial slurs were so unpopular with Virginians? I take this as a sign of progress.
Close runner up:
Santorum.
definitely the day of the dems!!!! what a fuckin turnaround!!!!!!!!!!!!
congrats fatback...you predicted this shit and willed it into reality (i had my cynical doubts)
Dan Savage had a vote in his colum to come up with a slang term for the frothy mixture of lube and butt juice formed durring anal sex. The overwelming winner was "Santorum".
I believe it was the other way around. He had his readers submit and then vote for a homosexual sex-related definition for his name. Frothy won.

I'm the the guy dancing, democrats personified, and the kid, you guessed it, is the motherfucking republican stronghold getting DOMED!
So why so close? Too many Dems thinking Webb was a Dino? Too many Virginians pleased to learn a new racial slur? (I don't believe it.) Webb was a terrible campaigner? I'm sure neither candidate lacked for $$$.
Webb isn't as good at the shit eating grin, baby kissing, gladhanding aspect of politics.
Allen was a shoe in until his macaca comment. All of the sudden the fucking geniuses at the DNC realized he was vulnerable. All your other points are true. They also realized the two areas that make or break statewide races would swing to Webb. Everybody knows about northern VA, but the Tidewater usually breaks GOP. Huge Navy Area. But, Hello? Dude was a Marine and Sec. of the Navy under Reagan the Great. My point is, Webb started with his own damn money going door to door and got no national funds until very late. Had the DNC put their bank behind him earlier, I think you would have seen a wider margin.
Oh and there are still a lot of bigoted, dumbass freaks in VA. See "marriage amendment" in addition to half the voters going for Countryboy Lynchstein.
3rd party senate canidate got 20K votes
Senator Webb could have played the vet card (both his & active duty son's) but kept it on the dlow
allen ran a very ugly hate filled campaign
b/w
stupid f-n mariage ammendment
"Sen. George Allen's campaign, facing probable defeat, hinted last night that the Republican could concede as early as today."
Once Allen concedes, I would like someone to edit together his concession speech with Michael Steele's hangdog concession speech so I can watch it on endless loop.
How sweet it is.

U.S. Sen. George Allen is expected to concede the race for the Senate today.
Allen's concession to Democrat Jim Webb would pave the way for the Democrats to gain a majority in the U.S. Senate.
Allen will hold a 3 p.m. news conference at the historic Carlyle House in Old Town Alexandria.
The Allen campaign has been monitoring the local canvassing of the election results and has not seen enough change to affect the outcome. Webb won by about 7,000 votes out of 2.3 million cast. article

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican Sen. George Allen of Virginia conceded defeat Thursday afternoon to Democratic challenger Jim Webb, giving Democrats control of the Senate.
"My friends, sometimes winds -- political or otherwise -- can blow the limbs off branches or break limbs. But a deep-rooted tree will keep growing," Allen said from Alexandria, Virginia, with his wife, Susan, and young daughter, Brooke, by his side.
"The people of Virginia have spoken, and I respect their decision. The Bible teaches us there is a time and place for everything, and today I called and congratulated Jim Webb." (Watch Sen. Allen concede -- 4:29 Video)[/b]
Webb's win marks the first time the Democrats have snared 51 votes they needed to control the Senate since May 2001. The GOP regained the majority in the Senate after the 2002 midterm elections....
Is that right after the passage where it also says, "Tryeth not to be a racist and self-loathing, anti-Semite lest your political career should suffereth the consequences"?
