    Too bad this story didn't break elsewhere . . .

    . . . because it will be tagged as another 'liberal media attack.'

    The question really is how many racists still live and vote in Virginia?

    A story like this will not lose Allen any votes from that constituency, nor will it gain him any from the left.

    It is obvious that James Webb is the candidate with more character and the safe bet for a good US Senator.

    It remains to be seen if the people of Virginia will ultimately realize this.
