The race in Virginia appears won by democratic candidate Jim Webb. With a 7,000+ vote lead and half of the counties finished canvassing there isn't much solace to be had in statistics for republican George Allen.

Many democrats are hoping there will be a challenge so that Karl Rove's nasty tactics can be exposed to more attention. I am not one of them. Karl Rove has been publicly pounded and has lost his genius gloss, his Midas momentum, and his invincibility.
I prefer to look ahead to Senate Majority leader Harry Reid. I prefer to pine for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. I prefer to reflect upon the fact that Americans demanded a change of course in Iraq and that
democrats are going to deliver on it.
President Bush may use his veto power to obstruct as much as he can, but democrats have plenty of ammunition to impeach him if he insists on being petulant. He appears to realize it too, since he is already singing conciliatory tunes.

He's had enough chances already. He's proven himself too dangerous.

Well, it only takes a moment to help convince Nancy Pelosi to Impeach..
The day the nation demands impeachment is upon us. Sacks and sacks of mail are about to arrive in Nancy Pelosi's office initiating impeachment via the House of Representative's own rules. This legal document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the impeachment resolution (H.R. 635).
There's a little known and rarely used clause of the "Jefferson Manual" in the rules for the House of Representatives which sets forth the various ways in which a president can be impeached. Only the House Judiciary Committee puts together the Articles of Impeachment, but before that happens, someone has to initiate the process.
That's where we come in. In addition to a House Resolution (635), or the State-by-State method, one of the ways to get impeachment going is for individual citizens like you and me to submit a memorial. ImpeachforPeace.org has created a new memorial based on one which was successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on their website as a PDF.
You can initiate the impeachment process and simultaneously help to convince Pelosi to follow through with the process. Do-It-Yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant information in the blanks (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. Be a part of history.
