UPDATE: Looks Like Allen Can Win After All

For many Virginia Republicans, including myself, who fear that George Allen has damaged himself too much to be able to defeat Tim Kaine for the open Senate seat currently held by Jim Webb, a new poll released today is cause for some sighs of relief.  According to a new Washington Post poll, Allen and Kain are currently tied at 46% each.

This result is good news for Allen because the campaign hasn’t begun in earnest.  Allen’s mostly conservative record is well known to most voters.  What wasn’t known was whether he would still be hampered by his idiotic “macaca” comment that cost him the 2006 election.  His early 46% support number against an established and currently popular Democrat opponent shows that Allen apparently is a viable contender in the current election.

The poll is bad news for Kaine because he is currently at what is likely to be the height of his popularity.  Kaine has a far-left record as Governor of Virginia, Chairman of the Democrat National Committee, and reliable foot soldier, propagandist, and apologist for Barack Obama, that will drive his numbers down as it becomes better known.  In addition, 2012 is shaping up to be generally favorable to Republicans as voters look to replace President Obama and his allies.

So, an even playing field in this early stage of the race means that Allen will likely gain the upper hand over time, which is good news for those of us who questioned his current political viability.

UPDATE: The best evidence that Democrats like Not Larry Sabato agree with my analysis and are worried is that they are publicly trying to dismiss this poll as “meaningless” because it is “so early.”  If the poll showed Kaine with a lead, would they be so dismissive?
