Win or lose, George Allen's future political career is over. He'll never be anything but Senator again - if he somehow manages to eke a win out (which doesn't look likely).

Agreed. One big winner for the Republican nomination tonight is John McCain, who campaigned tirelessly and despite his insanity on issues like immigration and campaign finance reforem is one of the few who get it on the war on terror. The other is Mitt Romney, who gets it on the war on terror and lacks the baggage and craving for media approval of John McCain. Rudy Guilani can be thrown in as an honorable mention, but he is simply too liberal on social issues to be acceptable to the Republican base.

Allen is gone. Gingrich is yesterday's news. Liberal state governors like Erlich and Pawlenty might have done okay had they not run for re-election in an anti-R year.

But the only high profile candidates left are McCain, Romney and Guilani. Romney is, by far, the best of the lot.

What a disappointment. What a boob. The Dems went after him the hardest because Rush liked him the best. Now it's over.
Hello tax hikes. Hello St. Hillary. I don't think I'll be able to stomach even Fox with Rangel on at every turn of the road. Yuck. I'm giving up on tv all together.
