One stupid "remark" caused George Allen to drop 10 points in the polls in a week's time. In this age, you can't afford to do stupid things.

Well, the stupid "remark" cost him, but the stupid handling of the remark cost him much more.

Had he said, "Hey, my oponent sent someone who was as easy to spot as if he'd been wearing a clown costume to my campaign event and I spotted him. What was I supposed to call him, the love of my life?

The name wasn't a racial slur, profanity, or obscenity, so move on."

Instead he gave several botched apologies. It's the handling that made people wonder if he was up for high office, IMHO.

Shalom.

Short of combat, there's nothing like politics to show who's got 'em and who don't!

What you said in post #50. Bump that.

I guess George isn't ready for Prime Time, huh?
