Watch out Spanky...
The Washington Post had a good article about how Senator Allen is past the "Comment" that the press had their field day with and the Senator is back on track and talking issues. Issues that it seems Webb has not looked at and continues to ignore when he talks in debates or in a crowd.
The Post also notes how Allen has come back with great numbers after being down in the past. Unfortunately as many of you have noticed the polls have not been accurate at all in the past and so it's hard to take them for what they are worth. The best way is to get out there and talk with your neighbors to see how they feel. The majority that I have talked to want to see Virginia issues in the debates and on T.V. not just the Iraq issue which is what Webb seems to be living on.
Outta here. Got a long list of signs requested to get to and a short time to get there....
Look out Spanky. We are on a roll...

Day or night, extended warranty coverage...
Took the night off from blogging but then got a phone call from a nearby landowner asking if I was “down by the Allen signs”, which I have been known to put up in the middle of the night, and out the door I was…
There has not been much sign vandalism in the area but after watching the debate on “Meet the Press” yesterday it is evident that the Webb campaign needs to do something to get noticed. Too bad it can’t be talking about issues that involve Virginia…
Turns out that the landowner noticed a car parked down at the end of the driveway and could not see what the people were doing and thought it might be me adding another sign or two, three, four, well you know how it is…
Half way across the front yard I could tell something was not right but that turned out to be that I had a Nike on the right foot and a Reebok on the left. Time to clean the closet out and cut the old shoe inventory…
As I approached the area of the sign display, good location and on a bend in the road with good traffic flow that offers high visibility, I scanned the immediate area for would-be sign vandals as I was armed with my trusty one-million candlelight spotlight. Cool toy to have and is a good tool to illuminate the immediate area thus making vermin scatter and run.
Negative find. Conducted thorough perimeter search of road frontage area around the signs and found no car or occupants in the area. Did notice that when I ran I did “pull to the right” but I think that is because of the Nike shoe on the right foot. Might be a good experiment to switch the shoe brands on the feet to see if the pull then goes to the “left” but if so, I, being a strong Conservative Republican, will have to go barefoot to avoid going to the “Left” in any form…
As I walked back towards the truck I noticed the above sign illumination and just had to get a photo for the blog. Wait until the night before election day as I knock on the landowners front door with extension cord in hand asking them to “plug this thing in will ya”…
Turned out not to be a problem tonight but I will tell you the new digital cameras that they make for hunters to strap to trees and take photos of deer in remote areas may come in handy. If you start seeing photos of deer, wildlife, or two leg vermin standing next to the above signs on RightsideVA you will know the story behind them…
