George Allen has got to go.
I'm a redskin fan, but this guy is just to the right of Jerry Falwell.

2. The question is
is the Democratic party going to run anyone for Senate this year? I don't know if they will. If we let this bozo go unopposed we deserve what we get. Who is running against Allen? Anybody know?

8. Who is up for re-election next?
From what I have heard is that Gov. John Warner is going to be running for senate in the next election though at the moment I cannot remember which one is going to be running.

9. The Governor is
Mark Warner - the other Senator is John Warner. Mark Warner ran against John Warner for Senate - I'm not sure what the year was now. George Allen is up for reelection in 2006 and since it seems Senator Warner isn't up for reelection this year he must have been re-elected in 2002. Mark Warner probably ran against John Warner in 1996. Mark Warner might have a shot against either one of these guys - but they will be hard to beat in this state - unfortunately...

13. I want Mark Warner vs. George Allen 2006.
GOV: Don Beyer(sp?) lost to Gilmore in 1997 for a term that ran from 1998 - 2002.

SEN: George Allen defeated Chuck Robb in 2000. Term is 2001 - 2007.

GOV: Mark Warner was elected in 2001 for four years. Term is 2002 - 2006.

SEN: John Warner ran unopposed in 2002. Six year term is 2003 - 2009.

GOV: Mark Warner finishes his term in 2006 and cannot run again in 2005.

George Allen's seat will be up for election in 2006. That looks like the perfect year for Mark Warner to run for the Senate. Virginia will get a little special attention by having two Senators Warner. He will accidentally get votes from the uninformed who will think they are voting for the other Warner. We will all be relieved of that smirky grin. If we don't get rid of Allen, his will be the vacuous smirk used as the face of the president. Just like Dubya, he has gotten by on name recognition and strings pulled for him. Allen has got to go.

We can't let John Warner run unopposed again in 2008. We must have someone to at least make the effort. Just look at him, he even looks like a hawk. I don't know why Elizabeth Taylor ever married him, she's had better husbands.

10. Dumbass George Allen's legacy will hurt VA for years
He abolished parole so that prisoners serve 3x the time they used to. Guess who pays to house prisoners and for more jails? we do, and the people who are convicted but noone is ever going to speak up for them

Also, he started the god awful SOL tests in our public schools
