A winner:
Netroots: It's always hard to gauge just how much influence the blog world has on an election, but there is little question that Internet activists helped propel Webb in this race. Lowell Feld, who runs the "Raising Kaine" blog, was one of the originators of the "Draft Webb" movement. At a rally for Webb on Monday, Feld said the race was essential to the future of the Democratic Party, as a Webb win "would bring back a lot of Reagan Democrats."
A loser:
George Allen: Spin it however you want, but there is no question that Allen's easier race was against Miller. Webb's ability as a candidate remains largely untested, but on paper he is positioned to give Allen a real race -- assuming he can raise the millions necessary to compete with the well-funded incumbent. Allen will also likely have to curtail his pre-presidential campaign travels to places like Iowa and New Hampshire, which could hamstring his '08 hopes regardless of the result this November.
Thoughts on these two comments and the rest of the list?
If you weren't already there, now you're certainly on his shit list.
Congrats Lowell!
And everyone who is a part of the Netroots success.
