I didn't realize that the press are the certifying officials.

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.

Wait until he grabs a kid, flips him over, and puts the child's penis in
his mouth. He will then become an more interesting and compelling than a
blade of grass growing.

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.

Now that you are in power, what are you going to do with it?


Already started. There will be a knock on your door, and you'll be
transported to a gulag in the deep south

The South still belongs to the conservative Republicans.

Funny you should say that, because most of the South has
long term deep rooted Democratic Party control over all
local gov't, commissions, sheriffs, etc etc. However, when
it comes to national politics, the Republicans get the
majority of seats (except for native sons like Carter,
Clinton, etc). Funny thing, we are just now seeing the
waning of the old Dixiecrats who turned Republican; I think
there is a trend towards Democratic voting.

I voted in a Southern precinct and there were exactly four
Republicans on a 2 page ballot... of course, much of it was
non-partisan stuff like judges & utility commissioners...
but there were more Democrats running unopposed than
Republicans.

Just thought you should know the facts

DSK,

Depends upon where you are in the South. In my Alabama county the only
unopposed candidates werre Republicans. AFAIK in this county no Democrat
won an election. If you'd care to check the county is Baldwin.

OK, thanks for the info. I guess the South is really as much
of a mixed bag as the rest of the country.
