While its obvious we disagree about allen being presidential, we both know there is a double standard with republican candidates and he's just doing this to get the DBM off his back.
What's actually interesting is that (i am indian american) most indian americans i meet, at least the ones who aren't first generation americans, can be quite racist/intolerant. I know my parents tend to be, i like em and all, but it's just a part of them i accept. Especially when it comes to religion they go bezerk. Most of them aren't very forgiving or tolerant of Indians who happen to be christian.
Oh I entirely agree. My Grandmother, my mother and aunts grew up Italian American and were totally prejudiced against certain races whereas I grew up hating any kind of racism. It depends on the generation. I think this whole thing with Allen will blow over although right now. The bad thing that is happening is that it is effecting Allen's Senate poll numbers.
Webb has a mailing out that Rasmussen has a new Virginia poll out with Allen only leading Web by 5% - Allen 47% vs Webb $42%. I can't post the poll because you have to pay now to have access. If it is true it is not good news for Allen.
