A very good man who ran a very bad campaign.
Unfortunately, he will now forever be viewed as the person who lost the Senate for the Republicans.

He had a lousy campaign manager. It's a real shame. I feel so bad for him he was a good senator. Funny I don't feel like this is the end of Allen. I think we will see more of him.

He is a good man. Though he ran a bad campaign, I can't see how he can be blamed for the Republicans losing the senate. He only lost his seat. The blame belongs at the feet of the President and his advisers.

-"Unfortunately, he will now forever be viewed as the person who lost the Senate for the Republicans." I believe that title is now hanging around Bush's neck.

George Allen did not LOSE the Senate. Sure, he didn't run a perfect campaign. But he was targeted a long time ago and ran against the forces of hell.
The Republican party as a whole lost the House and the Senate because we've lost our way. After our win in 1994 we never learned to govern. We've abandoned our princples, tried to run from the squishy middle. And now we've seen our President abandon us.
Sure, Allen was a part of our losing Senate control.
But to lay it all at his feet is ludicrous.

I've never used this except in jest. I mean it this time.
Bush's Fault.
