JIM-MENTUM...Yesterday, a CNN poll of the Virginia Senate race that showed Jim Webb leading George Allen by 4 points got Democrats excited. But the race has been volatile, so it was hard to know whether that result was a trend or a fluke.

Now we know: a Rasmussen poll released last night has Webb up by 5.

Looks like Allen's attempt to make an issue of Webb's fiction hasn't worked out so well.
