George Allen

As most people who follow politics are aware, the current junior Senator from Virginia is running for re-election. To be more accurate, he is running for re-election very badly. This guy just can't seem to get it together.

In addition to the well-publicized gaffes and votes on pertinent issues, George Allen seems to be trying to constantly compensate for not being a native Virginian. Unfortunately, he is so lacking in perception that he can't even determine what will appeal to natives. No native Virginian wears cowboy boots. Fortunately for the Old Dominion, the culture of the Commonwealth is not anything like the west of Allen's California or Bush's Texas. And, most importantly, if a native Virginian was to chew tobacco and use a spitoon, that native would most certainly aim correctly when using the spitoon. Sadly for the carpet in the Governor's office during Allen's reign, the former Governor was not so skilled.

If Allen's perception of the cultural proclivities of people of the Commonwealth is inaccurate, I doubt that the votes he casts on behalf of the people will be any more representative.
