Former U.S. Senator George Allen Ready to Start Campaign Against Democrat Senator Jim Webb for his Former Seat

George Allen, the former U.S. senator and Virginia governor, plans to tell supporters within a week that he is mounting a campaign to retake the Senate seat he lost to Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) in 2006. Allen, 58, the most prominent 2012 challenger to announce so far, has begun to line up key staff members. Webb, 64, who won by 1 percent, has sent mixed signals about whether he will seek reelection. DNC Chairman Tim Kaine, a former Virginia governor who could be the Democratic nominee if Webb bowed out, has been telling friends he thinks Webb will run. The rematch could be one of the hottest races in the country, especially if President Obama’s reelection campaign plays hard in the Old Dominion.

Everyone, including me went after him for his MACACA comment which he made against a Democrat Party “tracker” who was videoing Allen’s every move. This Alinsky type tactic was early in its implementation and Allen fell for the trap.

It cost him a very close election. But, Democrat Senator Webb has been not an exemplary Senator and Virginia has been growing “RED.”

George Allen has an excellent chance against Jim Webb.
