I suggest you catch up with me and George ~ redeem your Conservative credentials.
Besides the Democratic campaign staffer in the target hairs here is of Indian Indian heritage, and he really doesn't look like all that much of a minority ~ more like a heavily tanned Aryan, eh!
They got a billion more of 'em too!
muayiyah ... George Allen would be personally and intimately familiar with remote and obscure North African name-calling, given that his mother was born and raised in Tunisia.
I have been a huge George Allen fan since attending the GOP convention in Richmond when he won the nomination to run for Governor. My daughter whose absentee ballot was returned to her out-of-state college in '00 flew home a few weeks before the election specifically so she could absentee vote for George Allen. (she could have cared less about George Bush winning) I have worked for GOP candidates in every election in Virginia (which is yearly) for a few decades now ... I really don't think you have to worry about my getting on board, much less catching up with you.
We have to be honest and admit when our candidate makes a real boner of a mistake .... a Democrat could have said the same damned thing and no one, but no one, would care. Republicans can't afford to be that careless. George Allen is too good a candidate and too good a politician to have made the original mistake, and compounded it by following it up the way he and his staff did. It's heading down the same path as the Kilgore campaign last year. And that doesn't make me happy.
