It’s Time For An Exciting Senate Update!

183 words.

In case you’re wondering what’s going on in the Virginia senate race, here’s a quick update: Jim Webb’s staffers made fun of something George Allen said, which was echoed and amplified in the Virginia liberal blogosphere. Then George Allen’s staffers made fun of something Jim Webb said, which was echoed and amplified in the Virginia conservative blogosphere. This process has repeated itself about seventy-three times. Webb and Allen will be debating Sunday and Monday; I’ll probably TiVo (or, more accurately, Motorola-o) the one on Sunday.

Speaking of debates, we now know who the top five bloggers in Virginia are (or at least the top five most-connected bloggers): Chamber Debate To Feature Political Bloggers. I find one of those blogs to be a despicable blight on society, so it’s a little disturbing to see them invited to cover an important campaign debate, especially when they are unabashed apologists for one of the candidates. (The other 4 are good picks, and at least 2 of those are really good.)
