Maybe The Best Analysis….
… Of the Virginia Senate race that I have seen yet comes from the Financial Times of all places. It looks at what is arguably the dirtiest campaign in the dirtiest year ever and reaches the conclusion:
Regardless of whether Mr Allen holds on to his seat, two conclusions are already apparent. First, the man who was once seen as the best hope among conservative Republicans of defeating the more moderate John McCain as its 2008 presidential nominee is almost certainly out of the running. Second, Virginia’s voters may now be aware of what is least attractive about their senatorial candidates but they are unlikely to be any the wiser about the momentous decisions before their nation. (Emphasis added.)
That about sums up Virginia Senate and the rest of this sideshow dominated election.
