If Webb can raise 5 million in the next month or so he can make it competitive.

Granted, only Hillary Clinton is capable of raising that type of cash.  In other words, Webb's done.

The dynamics of the race have changed only because of Allen's gaffe.  Webb cant run on the macaca statement forever.  Given Allen's cash advantage, a month from now this thing could be Allen +20 again.

Something to think about...

Survey USA NAILED the 2005 gubernatorial race in VA.

They published a poll the night before the election that showed Kaine +5. Everyone through it out, called it an outlier.

Next day, Kaine +6.

It proves that this poll is probably an accurate snap-shot of how the race would playout if the election were held today.  But as you know, the election is not today, it is in November.  And that is were Allen's 10 to 1 cash advantage will come into play.

We'll see in the next week or so... Maybe internals are showing a different story?
