Virginians can nip this George in the bud.

George Allen is one of the fundiest repug contenders to succeed Bush. If Virginians reject him as Senator next year he's done.

We already elected a Dem Governor so this is a very attainable goal!

From the Post:

<snip>

For Allen, a former governor, the stakes are high as he prepares to begin his 2006 reelection bid and a possible run for the presidency.

Party stalwarts said after Allen's speech that they are confident that although Democrats have succeeded in recent statewide elections, the senator will make a strong showing next November.

Political observers said that although Allen has a comfortable hold on his Senate seat, a strong bid by a Democrat could undermine his bid for the presidency.

"His longtime protege was defeated for governor," said Larry J. Sabato, a professor of political science at the University of Virginia. "Does that mean that Allen's Senate seat is in jeopardy? Not particularly. But it's weakened him."
