I am tired of the Allen-bashing. People on Free Republic need to get it through their heads that the democrats want this Senate seat. This is NOT about taking Allen out of the presidential race; it is about getting this Senate seat in an effort to win the Senate for the Rats.

If Webb wins this election with this kind of garbage and with the help of the media, they will use variations on every Republican candidate in 2008. I wish people would smarten up and defend Allen, attack Webb, and quit aiding our enemies. End of rant.

What do you think of the strategy of having Allen turn this back on the Dems and pointing out their elitist stereotyping of Southerners? There's a strong resentment among southerners at being considered unintelligent racist knuckle-draggers just because of geography and accent. Allen could turn this from a personal attack and use it to defend ALL Americans (especially southerners...especially white Virginians) against the libels of the libs and their abettors in the MSM.

Remember that ad from the 2004 campaign about "volvo driving, latte drinking" elitists? I think the Dems are open to a similar ad portraying them as thinking of themselves as oh-so-superior to the vast majority of Americans...especially those who live south of Washington D.C.

I agree with everything you said except the part about it "NOT about taking Allen out of the presidential race." Yes it is about getting Webb elected to give the Dems another seat, but it is also about knocking Allen out from consideration in 2008.

The Dems view Allen as a serious candidate for President in 2008. His Reaganesque appearance and ability to relate to people make him a strong foe. They don't want this young former Southern governor and college quarterback with a famous sports name to be their opponent. Also, Allen did a tremendous job in running the 2004 GOP National Senatorial campaign.

The New Republic, NYT, and WP have been running concerted attacks against Allen since May. This has more to do with just a Senate seat. It is about character assassination of a possible Rep presidential candidate.
