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.

Congratulations. The ball will soon be in your court. You take over with
some impressive milestones that I previously posted.

Let me post them once again:

A 4.4% unemployment rate (I believe that is the lowest in over a decade),
record stock market levels,
gasoline around $2/gallon and a booming economy. Most
importantly..........no terrorist attacks on US soil since 9-11.

Time for your party to walk the walk. You have 2 years. The clock starts
in January. ;-)

A 4.4% unemployment rate (I believe that is the lowest in over a decade),
record stock market levels,
gasoline around $2/gallon and a booming economy. Most
importantly..........no terrorist attacks on US soil since 9-11.

I believe that there was a point during Clinton's 2 terms where you could
say all of the above were true as well. It all depends when the snapshot is
taken. ;-)

I uderstand what you are saying, Mike,and I am more compelled to
believe that the true strength of this nation rests on the shoulders of
the American people, regardless of who is in what office.

I couldn't agree more. That's why I never pull the R or D lever (remember
those machines?). I vote for the candidate I think will do the best for me
and us, never for a party.
