Default AP, NBC Declare Webb Winner in Virginia

Harry,

Liberman could be a wild card. He can't be too happy with the party that
beat him in the primary, no?

You know the GOP will be wooing him intensively. The Dems will be falling
all over themselves to keep him in the fold.

His loss in the primary was probably the best thing to happen to him lately.

Jim Webb has been declared the apparent winner of the Virginia U.S. Senate
race over incumbent George Allen.

This is an astonishing victory for Webb, who while bright and with a good
resume, is about as exciting as watching paint dry. The consensus seems to
be that though Webb ran a strong campaign, Allen did himself in, beginning
with his famous "Macaca" statements.

If the Virginia board of elections declares Webb the winner, the Democrats
will control the House, the Senate, and the majority of state governors'
mansions, a trifecta.

Bush will no longer be able to nominate and see confirmed right-wing
extremist judges, a good thing. And hopefully Congress will no longer
waste its time and our money on adult privacy issues.
