There's no reason to freak about November at this point, but he really needed to be a shoe-in for re-election if he's going to go for the nomination in 2008. There have been one or two articles about Hillary being in some trouble but everyone knows she will win and she is perceived as a winner. Allen's perception, rightly or wrongly, is of this guy who made this racist comment and is now in trouble in the polls.

We are always talking about the MSM spreading BS that damages someone, and then some of us deny that the MSM has spread BS that damages someone. Looks like they've succeeded in this case, and the problem is that Allen has a relatively low profile compared to other potential candidates, so this is many people's first introduction to him on a national level, and it's a bad impression. That ain't good, and is potentially fatal, like it or not.

That ain't good, and is potentially fatal, like it or not.

So if Allen wins resoundingly in November, despite the media-driven "racist comment" circus, you and others perhaps not that familiar with him would not view that as a sign of his strength?
