Webb 47.9 Allen 46.6

Time to talk, folks.

Yet another Zogby/WSJ Poll, this one conducted over 15-21 August. Results? Webb wins. You lose.

UPDATE: Keep in mind the Zogby poll was (a) done at the same time as the SurveyUSA poll which showed Allen up by 3%, (b) the Zogby poll was done over the course of six days as opposed to the SurveyUSA poll done over far fewer, (3) the Zogby polls are predominantly online polls, while SurveyUSA are telephone polls, and (4) while I have always admired Zogby for accuracy, SurveyUSA continues to impress -- if asked to bet, as of this moment I'd bet on SurveyUSA.

(end update)

So what does this mean? Nothing we didn't already know when it comes to the Allen campaign, other than Virginia will no longer be an easy ride to victory. Republican predominance in the Commonwealth is at stake.

Now it's all grit and gridiron, no magic and no easy ride for the Allen crew. Don't think for a second the Democrats care about "macaca" or anything else but beating Republicans to pieces. Moderates, conservatives, libertarians, classical liberals -- the progressives hate us all.

Angry yet? Time to fight back. Here's how:

(1) Join your local GOP committee. Do that here.
(2) Volunteer with the Allen campaign. Do that here.
(3) Demand some literature and start walking your neighborhood. Meet your neighbors, hold a cookout, talk at church.

Three easy steps you can take today to stop the Democrats from slandering our party. Remember this much: Beating you is important to Democrats - they're not just coming after Allen, they're coming after you and everything you stand for by hiding your values under a veil of racism and ignorance.

Republicans stand for nobler ideas. Republicans ended slavery in this country. Republicans ushered in the era of civil rights when Democrats resisted at every turn. Republicans ended the era of Soviet Communism. Republicans are taking the fight to the terrorists abroad. Republicans ushered in the economic triumphs of the last 20 years. Republicans have stood by small businesses and championed individuals over the social collective. Republicans reformed welfare. Republicans cut taxes while Democrats seek to raise them or bail out on terrorism.

Republicans -- not the Democrats -- have been on the right side of every issue while the Democrats do what they do best; backseat drive.

If you still believe in the principles of free enterprise, free markets, and a free society Republicans need your voice. If this is a future we still believe in, the reality of that future is now. For make no mistake, these principles are the Jeffersonian principles the Democrats are seeking to destroy.

Keep that in mind until November. Dems will pull every trick and deceitful tactic possible, but remember what the wise men of old say about Democrats: NIL ILLEGITIMUS CARBORUNDUM!

Now get to work! :)

"Dems will pull every trick and deceitful tactic possible"

Yeah...and Repbulicans won't. Jerry Kilgore's "Hitler" ads are just one example I can give of the depths that Republicans will go to win elections. I know you can pull examples of your own from the Democratic side. I don't pretend that all Democrats are saints. So you don't have to got tit for tat with me on this. But at least be intellectually honest with yourself and readers that there are bad people on both sides that will win at any cost. To not do so, makes you look foolish.

Come on, Shaun. I expect more from you than this.

Why the silence from Democrats whom I know to be otherwise good people?

Vivian, you can't possibly tell me you condone this behavior???

Kevin, I'll agree that there are bad people on both sides of the fence. Nevertheless, we certainly don't see people ambushing and verbally accosting James Webb at his events.

My question would be why the Democrats are not doing more to rein-in their fringe, while Republicans are mandated to do so?

Worse still, if Democrats do not control the extremists on their end, what message does that send to the extremists on our end? Stay quiet?

The coarsening of political discourse begins when good people do nothing. Why are the good people in the Democratic Party doing nothing?

I guess I'm confused. Your post relates to what R's should do. What are you talking about when you say:
Vivian, you can't possibly tell me you condone this behavior???

The Zogby poll was an online interactive one. I've linked to his methodology over on Virtucon and raised some other questions about it, too.
