Allen's last gasps

George Allen's defeat in Virginia won't be official until the last votes are recounted -- but win or lose, he has been beaten to a shell of his good ol' boy self.

I live in Richmond . . .

. . . and I am grateful to see Mr. Allen's career smacked on the backside by the opening door of James Webb's political ascension. Mr. Allen could never hold a candle to a man of Webb’s character and integrity.

I was present at the inauguration of Webb's Richmond campaign headquarters last summer. It was quite revealing to see Jim Webb alongside the other politicos on the stage that day. He conveyed greater presence and stature than any of the Democratic officials assembled around him.

I have not voted in an election since 1980, and I am very glad that I made the effort to vote for Jim Webb yesterday.

Webb is poised to make political history. . .
