Nice.

In VA's 5th Goode(R) is up 50.1% to 49.9% by around 400 votes. They are going to have a state funded recount so looks like this will not be decided for a while.

Apparently that number is changing right now it is about 200 votes difference...

Goode lost the election but he might actually end up losing his freedom (http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/1108/Wade_claims_to_have_given_info_on_corrupt_lawmaker s_to_Justice_Dept.html?showall). Couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow. Toss in Katherine Harris and you just got to scream "Karma is a Bitch!"

Well maybe you should read the article before you posted it.

"There is no evidence that Harris or Goode, who lost re-election bids in 2006 and 2008 respectively, engaged in any illegal behavior in response to the contributions, according to DOJ."

I read what I post and I am a firm believer in innocent until proven guilty. Having said that it would please me immensely to see those two in handcuffs. If the DOJ decides, however, to go after them you better believe they're screwed.

Goode is in VA and what has he ever done for you to want him in jail?

While I may no longer live in Virginia I know all about Virgil Goode. He represents the worse of America. He is a first class fear and hate monger. He hates immigrants, he hates Muslims, and he believes himself to represent real America and real Virginia.

In a letter released to CNN (http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/2006/12/muslim-congressman-goode-has-lot-to.html) Wednesday, Goode wrote in part to a constituent, "I do not subscribe to using the Koran in any way. The Muslim representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district and if American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran."

I haven't been following politics much lately. Have they figured out who won the Minnesota race yet?
