I have made my decision on the vote. I will vote for Miller in the primaries (if he's still in the race) and for whoever is the D against Allen. This is the reality of Virginia. You're in Illinois with Sen. Obama and Durbin representing you (I'm not saying you don't have some Republicans in your region, but still what great senators you do have!!). Second to PA (Santorum), I am home to the worst prominent Repub senator in the country, and he's going down. To be honest, I would be just as reticent in voting for Casey, who doesn't believe in a woman's right to choose as I would be for Webb, who obviously has a grudge against Kerry and the anti-war movement. Voting is often about the lesser of two evils, instead of the BEST candidate. I wish it wasn't that way. 2004 was a great year to vote, because I got to vote for David Ashe for Congress and John Kerry for president. Perhaps this year is just going to be an off year, but I have to take the hand I am dealt, and if Webb is the Dem, I will vote for him, however begrudgingly.

Edited to add:

Just so you know, I have my eyes wide open with this guy, and really I can't predict what I'll do come next November when I enter the voting booth. Here's another vile essay by this man:
