VA: Tim Kaine raised 2.25 Mio. $ in second quarter

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Allen is overestimated on this forum.

I don't think so.  The polls show an even race, we have to take that as the situation.  Plus, isn't it a base assumption that Republicans will raise money, especially in swing states with tight races?

Allen is a discredited racist who will not return to the Senate.

See, I agree with your end result: Allen will lose.  But, I disagree that he is discredited.  People still like him.  He has a base, and that matters.  People see a close race, so they give him money and support.  I don't think he is overestimated - I think you are overestimating my fellow Virginians.

Isaac's thinking is similar to mine, in terms of the impact of Macaca.  Kaine won't focus on Macaca.  Instead, he'll hit Allen on other things, and hope Obama can carry him over the top.  Kaine was a fairly successful Governor, and that helps him.  Likewise, the boom in NOVA, along with NOVA getting more Democratic, is a huge deal.
