Wadhams is a hack that makes it hard for a campaign to mount a character assault on the opposition, because he runs campaigns with no character. He's a slash-and-burner, who so mishandled the Macaca affair that he completely destroyed years of credibility Allen had built up in Virginia.
I blame Allen for hiring a hachet man to "groom his presidential race" when he should have hired a clean issues-oriented manager to push his better way.
After what happened in Virginia in '07, you would think Wadhams would find employment in Republican circles a tad difficult.
