It would be nothing short of disastrous if Allen were to get beaten. Not only does this mean the loss of a Senate seat they cannot afford to lose, but it will further indicate VA is trending Dem, and the GOP candidate for president in '08 can't take it for granted. Not to mention it will probably boost Gov Warner's prospects in '08.

I agree, and for the reasons you state.

What is wrong with the party, that we keep throwing away very winnable races?

Yes it would. He needs to keep his Senate Seat! If he wants to run for president in 2008 he needs to win his seat back.

Further indicate? Nope. Quite the opposite is true. VA has been trending to the right for the past few elections.
