October 30, 2006A fix for poll watchersIf you're a political junkie like me, hanging on the latest polling numbers out of the battleground states, then these sites have the perfect daily fix. They aggregate all the poll results into overall projections about who will control Congress after next week's election. From the left: electoral-vote.com and From the right: electionprojection.com Assessments of the political leanings of the two sites are based strictly on my having kept an eye on them for a while and are totally subjective. The latest, forecasts, btw, are Democrats easily take the House and fall just short in the Senate. |

JD21Interesting. If this election is about character, what does this say about Allen? I don't think there's ever been so much bad stuff said by so many so close, including his own sister. I'm beginning to wonder if it's all made up. See http://www.raisingkaine.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=2315 (and all the links at the bottom).

DORSEY TAYLORThe religious republicans sure are going to have a tuff time at the voting booth this election. They will challenge their own character on; is it okay to kill men, women and children in the name of USA freedom but not an unborn embryo in the name of medical advancement; or not to abort an unborn in the name of personal righteousness. It's funny how the living are considered less than the unborn.

QIs there anyone else out there who sees irony in George “noose in the office” Allen who claims to not have a bigoted bone in his body, seeking to enlist the African-American church community in a battle to cement discrimination in the Virginia constitution via the Marshall-Newman Amendment?
