Now the conversation has turned towards who would benefit, not necessarily a win in 2006, but a loss against Allen and a comeback in ’08.
Some good comments (if you’re a Dem). However, recall Jim Miller against Oliver North in 1994, and the boomerang in 1996 when he tried to run against John Warner.
Warner is still a U.S. Senator…
All this aside, however likely or unlikely the Dems will put up a viable challenger to Senator Allen, Republicans cannot become complacent in 2006. Ask Jerry Kilgore about 10-point leads and complacency.
