I'll be LOLing on Election Night when Dems pick up 6-8 Senate seats, possibly (but probably not) including this one.

The most we could pick up is likely two or three...and I am conservatively predicting only one net gain in the Senate in the Democrats' favor to guard against unwarranted optimism that -based on past experience- could only lead to crushing heart-breaking disappointment in the general election.  I know because I was guilty of it myself in 2002 and 2004.   

Still, I am pleasantly suprised by Jim Webb's unexpected strength against George Allen.  He will not win, to be sure, but if it causes George Allen some heart-burn in his re-election campaign it's worth it enough for me to go out and vote.

Why do you expect the Democrats to be strong in Loudoun?

The county is moving pretty strongly to the left.  It went from 20 points more GOP than the national average in 96, to about 16 points more GOP in 2000 and about 9.5 points more GOP than the national average in 04.  Kaine also won Loudoun County by 5.64% last year (VA went to Kaine by 5.73%).  It is still generally a GOP county, but Dems are picking up major ground.

Allen will still win Loudoun, and the election. Webb is an improvement, but far short of winning material.

The idea that Webb could win, but Laffey couldn't, is really pretty laughable and puts to lie any serious notion that I am more biased than the vocal Democrats.

Oh really?

It seems that whatever predictions that Walter Mitty and AUH20 make, the opposite happens!!

I also like the Jake comment about Webb not breaking 40%!! LMAO!!

I have to admit that this makes the Republicans here look pretty damn stupid, but George Allen lost this race more than Jim Webb won it, and anyone who predicted that Webb would win without Allen's "macacalypse" was pretty much a hack.

Bad prediction

the Michigan senate race will be closer than this race

Bad prediction

Quote from: tarheel maniac on February 09, 2006, 10:56:22 AM
I expect Webb to be surprisingly strong in Loudon--the fastest growing (but already lg. unlike many other fast-growing places) county in the nation, but also to pull his weight in SW VA.  And just for fun:
Webb--49.94%
Allen--49.93%
less than 300 vote margin of victory.

Pretty good prediction.

Loudon ended up voting for Webb, as well.

Now you know why I never, ever make predictions without putting it in context of what is required for it to come true. Tongue

I think in the case of Virginia all of this is pretty unfair...if Allen hadn't screwed himself over, Webb obviously wouldn't have won. Adding to that, the national climate wasn't as brutal for the GOP then as it had become on election day.

If only Laffey had won the primary. I could have more fun after Goldie predicted a victory by him.
