Bad news for Macaca

A new poll has George "Macaca" Allen losing to Democrat Kaine by 6% in the race for the senate in VA: http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i//MSNBC/Sections/A_Politics/_Today_Stories_Teases/NBC%20News-Marist_Poll_Virginia.pdf

This is good. Virginians are better off without a man who compared an Indian man to a monkey of the macaca variety.

Only in Northern Virginia is there a democratic majority, the rest of the state is militaristic, prison-loving, proud-to-be-stupid pseudo hicks who wish it was still pre-civil war.

Please read. All decent Virginians should know the truth about this creep. I hope they send him back under the rock from which he has reappeared.

Virginia is definitely trending bluer as time goes on, which is probably why he's 6 points behind instead of tied with Kaine. Before long I expect it'll be a "lean Democratic" state like Pennsylvania or Michigan.
