My prediction appears to have been correct in the end courtesy of a bumbling and gaffe prone campaign by Republican Senator George Allen. A good read here by the Times:

The Associated Press and other media organisations were predicting that the gaffe-prone Republican Senator George Allen was trailing his Democrat challenger Jim Webb by 7,236 votes - a margin he is unlikely to recoup in any recount.
Although there has been no official confirmation of the win, an adviser to Mr Allen – who was accused of making a racial slur and hiding his Jewish heritage during the campaign – told Reuters that the Senator "has made it clear to staff, to me in particular that he has absolutely no intention of dragging this out" if the numbers favour Mr Webb.
