Sen. George Allen predicted last year that Democrats would seek revenge against him for helping make Republican gains in the Senate, and it appears he was right. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), two Democrats hoping to replace him and the New Hampshire Democratic Party last week delivered stinging messages and even called for his resignation. The groups criticized Allen, calling him "bored George," for complaining about the slow pace of the Senate. They also say he should decide whether he is running for re-election or making a bid for the White House. Mr. Allen was chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee in 2004 when his party picked up four seats, adding to the chamber's Republican majority and ousting Minority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota. "I'm probably one of their least favorites," Allen said in June. "They are going to have all the national liberal money coming in for whoever that opponent is." So far, he has two Democratic opponents -- Harris Miller and James Webb. They will face each other in a June primary. The "bored George" moniker was in response to a March 26 New York Times article, which quoted Allen as saying he made more decisions in "half a day" as governor of Virginia than he makes in a "whole week" in the Senate. "It's too slow for me," he said in the article. ... "Bored George's comments, while bizarre, only serve to underscore the precarious situation he's positioned himself in by running for president while his re-election in Virginia is anything but assured," read one memo that suggested he replace retiring National Football League Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. ... Mr. Miller, a Northern Virginia businessman, last Monday called for Mr. Allen to resign his seat if he is "too bored" with the slow-moving Senate.

OK. He will when Hillary does.
He goes from a 1 man decision maker to part of a collective Borg. That is the only "bizarre" part that I see! Allen so far is the only one of the bunch I can tolerate for 2008....that is if he can derail "McInsane's campaign", which after this vote on immigration, shouldn't be too hard!
Be Ever Vigilant!
I would use it in conjunction with my published liberal theory. My theory is that the liberals lack a specific human gene. That missing gene explains why liberals cannot process reality.
