At the very last moment, I blinked. The problem is that for the most part I like George Allen (and no, it's not about "football" as some of the moronic talking heads were suggesting during the election reporting yesterday), while reading Webb's website makes me nauseous. Socialism, socialism, and more socialism. The nanny state will solve all our problems. Blech.
Besides that, I wasn't sure a Democratic House and Senate would necessarily be a good thing. So I voted for Allen and cast my protest ballot for a Democratic challenger to Tom Davis, our local Republican congressman. That worked out well, because Davis happens to be a real buffoon on a lot of issues I care about, and is the sort of Republican who, in my view, exemplifies what's wrong with the Republican Party today.
Of course he won anyway. And it looks very likely that Webb won, too. Apparently, a lot of the folks at the polls with me didn't blink. (Prince William County, where I live, went slightly red in '04, but went slightly in favor of Webb yesterday.)
My thought for the day:
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get noWhen I'm drivin' in my car
And a man comes on the radio
He's telling me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say
