Does (almost certainly) losing the Virginia senate election give George Allen more time to campaign for 2008, like Romney and Frist both stepping down does?
You can't be serious. Even if Allen miraculously pulls his re-election out of the fire, his national aspirations are dead.
Win or lose, George Allen's future political career is over. He'll never be anything but Senator again - if he somehow manages to eke a win out (which doesn't look likely).
Unless the lawyers pull out this Senate race, which they most likely won't.....he is toasty.
He's totally done.
Shooting for the record for lowest vote percentage for a Republican ticket in the history of the country?
I don't know... nominating somebody who couldn't even win re-election I think is risky... And he's a bit gaffe prone too...
If he can't pull out a Senate victory in his own state how could he possibly win? I think Allen is done.
Allen proved himself to be inept.
More like Gingrich-Romney.
If I were a bartender, I would cut you off.
Forget him. Macaka is finished.
Allen is worse off than Kerry as a national candidate.
I am sick of them all. Fresh blood please.
"Unless the lawyers pull out this Senate race, which they most likely won't.....he is toasty."
I have very mixed thoughts on that. On the one hand control of the Senate would be amazingly important. On the other if there aren't real grounds for expecting us to make up all the votes and real issues would we be much better than SoreLoserman by challenging?
Why not have two GOP losers on the same ticket, Burns and Allen.
Say goodnight, Gracie.
Go to sleep, or go to a bar.
Really!
The 2008 nomination is Rudy's if he wants to fight for it. Tonight's wipeout helps strengthen Rudy's hand, like it or not. Do you want Hitlery as your next president?
To answer your question literally: Yes, it gives him all the time in the world. He won't be the nominee.
I can see Gingrich, but not Allen. Allen may be a good guy, but he has been "gored".
