Can some Virginia Freepers clue me in as to why Allen can’t win an election up there any more? I have some theories, but I need some Virginia perspective...

put it this way, he sounds like he gets his talking points from Sean Hannity - only slower.

No depth.

I’ve heard through the grapevine (including Republicans) that as a person he’s an a-hole.

His ads were pretty bad and unsophisticated.

Completely hopeless in Northern Virginia as a candidate.

I’m in VA...

1) the liberal cockroaches that occupy Fairfax County and most of Northern Virginia

2) Allen stopped running as a conservative and went the moderate route

3) His opponent Tim Kaine (or Tom K., as Biden announced him), did not advertise his Democrat party affiliation and made all kinds of wild claims like Obama about accomplishments when he served as governor

4) Allen’s “mucaca” slur from years ago — it wasn’t advertised this time around, but it really was the end of his political career

Many immigrants in NoVa remember “Macaca” and voted against him.

Because George Allen is a spineless moron.

Simply put, he sounds and looks like one of the slower characters from the Andy Griffith show.
