Ka-boom in VA

Judging by the action over at Tradesports, Democrat Jim Webb's heated battle in Virginia against incumbent George Allen has taken a serious turn for the worse since news broke of sexually questionable excerpts throughout Webb's novels.

As of this post:

***George Allen's contract is up a whopping 15 points. Bettors are now giving him a 75 percent chance of victory in that contest.

***Webb's contract is heading to the basement. It has plummeted 15 points, with bettors offering the beleagured candidate a 25 percent shot at the Senate seat.
