A Bush supporter openly comes out for dictatorship: No surprise.........and if their supporters are thinking it, there's a good chance their leaders are as well. On Saturday, without any formal discussion, they banned online gambling by tacking on a provision to a bill. If they can do, what's to prevent them from banning access to the internet completely?

Personally, I don't think Webb is strong enough to overcome Allen even with all his racist remarks. However, the race has narrowed considerably over the past two months. Virginia Senate: Allen Now Leading by 6 October 2, 2006 Republican Senator George AllenRepublican Senator George Allen is clinging to a narrow edge over Democrat James Webb, the former Secretary of the Navy. Allen now leads 49% to 43% (see crosstabs). That’s virtually unchanged from previous poll, conducted in early September. In our Senate Balance of Power summary, Virginia continues to "lean Republican.” Allen lost ground in recent weeks after casually addressing a camera-wielding opposition worker as "macaca." Innocent or not, the candidate's misstep quickly cost him support, and his double-digit lead was cut in half. More recently, Allen has faced accusations that he used racial slurs about blacks when in college. Webb has declined to exploit this charge and even contended that few who grew up in the South are entirely innocent of uttering such slurs. Fifty-one percent (51%) of Virginia voters agree with Webb on that point. Read more........... rasmussenreports.com
