I think George Allen has a much better chance running for something of a more local office in his district than some national office.

His macaca comment is going to haunt and dog him for the rest of his life.

Memo to other potential candidates for political office: watch what you say very carefully....

“the disastrous campaign waged in 2006...”

I think that is overstating it. First, he lost by a few thousand votes. Second, 2006 was a very good year for the Dems. In retrospect, it is amazing he was so close.

I support recycling when it comes to paper and aluminum.

Recycling simply doesn’t work when it comes to dumb ass politicians.

The “macaca” moment is over. I think VA is ready for George Allen again. We’re wise to the media and their BS.

I don’t vote in Virginia, so it’s up to y’all - but my opinion is, you shouldn’t wear a cowboy hat unless you’re a cowboy.

Erick Erickson views this particular from the media template. His view has been colored by the left winged media. Erickson sees Allen as a liability because Erickson himself is a RINO.

Allen lost by a few thousand votes.  It wasn't a "disaster", and 2006 was a good year for Democrats because they masqueraded around as Conservatives.  It was that year that the Democrat Senators who won elections in red states running as Conservatives are up for re-election in 2012 are running, Jim Webb being one of them.

Kent Conrad of North Dakota, for example, is retiring because the Tea Party in that state are busy exposing his voting record.  If the Tea Party in Virginia was doing that same thing right now,  Jim Webb will be tossed out in 2012.  It won't matter one whit who he's running against because he's a fraud.

This guy Erickson is full of horsecrap.
George Allen had a 100% rating from the ACU in 2005 and a 96% in 2006.
He is pretty darn conservative as far as I can tell.
