This Week In The Senate Race
233 words.
A new Zogby poll shows Allen leading Webb by a mere 5.3 points. Democrat blogs are validated, Republican blogs will talk about why political polls are irrelevant. (Isn’t it funny how opinion polls are so useful to support a position, but useless for opposing a position?) Anyway, don’t get too excited, because most people feel Zogby is not a very reliable poll.
George Allen released a new television ad, but I haven’t seen it yet. It’s up on his campaign site. Raising Kaine also reports that the Virginia State Police are unhappy with George Allen for using a photo of state police in a campaign mailing: VA State police upset with Allen over use of photo. “The organization has a long standing policy of not endorsing candidates in political contests.”
Raising Kaine also has an excellent investigative series of articles about donors to George Allen’s campaign: George Allen’s Donors: Part 1 and George Allen’s Donors: Part II (Koch Industries). This may come as a complete shock, but apparently some pretty shady people donate to Allen’s campaign.
No word yet on Webb’s response to Allen’s counter-debate proposal. Spark It Up!! reports that Jim Webb is Silent and quotes another snarky press release from Allen’s guys. Allen’s webmaster, by the way, finally got around to posting Allen’s press releases. Because Webb hasn’t responded, “Born Ducking” is now the fashionable Virginia Republican pejorative for Webb’s campaign.
