According to Chris Cillizza's "Friday Line" Washington Post column on "Listening to the 2008 Buzz," George Allen's Presidential aspirations would be seriously complicated by a Jim Webb victory on June 13. Cillizza writes:
Mum's the word for Virginia's junior senator when it comes to presidential politics. The media's attention of late has been fixed on the two Democrats hoping to challenge Allen this fall. If former Secretary of the Navy Jim Webb wins the Democratic Senate nomination on June 13, Allen will have to spend more time at home running for reelection. And in that case, observers can expect trips like Allen's scheduled jaunt to Iowa in the middle of this month to grow more and more infrequent.
That's really the bottom line on June 13 if you're a Democrat. Jim Webb can slow or even stop George Allen dead in his tracks. The other guy, the lobbyist dude who says he's a "shorter, poorer version of Mark Warner" (ha ha)? Not even an afterthought by national political analysts like Chris Cillizza.
If you don't like George Allen, that should tell you pretty much all you need to know when you enter the polling booth on June 13.
