so G.Allen is pondering a non-challenge so, under the cover of 'magnanimity,' he can run again at the earliest convenience with minimal soreloserness?

Six years = earliest convenience?

Does Rahm Emmnuel's coronation mean that he (and not Karl Rove) is the new Mark Hanna?

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:00 (seventeen years ago) link

allen is pondering a non-challenge cause he knows there's no way he's making up 7k votes.

Plus, people are starting to bring up Allen telling Gore to get over it in 2000.

morbius, can you try to sound more cynical and sour about everything, please? thanks. I mean, if you hate this shit so much and nobody's any damn good.. Well, life is short, so why don't you spend your life focusing on shit that doesn't make you feel bitter, bored, and cynical?

Sorry to shit on your Dems Are the Greatest cake, darla. You can get mouthbreathers like Chris Matthews telling you how great our system and the people in it are all over dumbass cable.

well, when is Warner's seat open? dude could retire. But Nixon waited 8 years after '60, six after losing the guv race. True, he never said Macaca.

I like how you completely avoided her point there, that was good.

― Django Blowhardt (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 9 November 2006 15:47 (seventeen years ago) link

True, he never said Macaca.

He recorded himself in the Oval Office uttering far worse racial slurs, though.

Morbs, it's your right to live in a black and white world where you're always right because everything sucks, but I'm just sayin', it's your attitude that makes it so.

― dar1a g (daria g), Thursday, 9 November 2006 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

It's that there REALLY are about 5% of the legislators on the Hill who are worth more than a warm bucket of piss that makes it so.

But Mike, we only got the full brunt of Dick's slurring long after he coptered off into Elder Statesman rehab.

Morbius, you are being ridiculous. Not only do you know very little about what you're talking about, your answer is to unilaterally declare they're nearly all worthless 'cause you don't want to do the hard work of, you know, THINKING about things and why they are the way they are.

You are just like George W Bush.

I'm game, dar1a, help me -- why are things the way they are, and how did you figure it out?

I figured it out by seeing the political landscape I knew changed forever in November '80. And it's not coming back.

I thank Allah every day for internets.

what was the landscape you "knew" Morbs? certainly it couldn't have been the one in which no even moderately progressive political figure won the Presidency without a) the benefit of a national tragedy, b) a huge personality cult at least somewhat divorced from ideology, or c) warmongering, and in which no progressive control of the Congress existed without the benefits of a lingering party identification with racists, right? the landscape "changed forever" when progressives got a hell of a lot of the things they wanted.

Meantime.

As the canvassing continues in Virginia, Sen. George Allen, R-Virginia, is sequestered in his home, "shell shocked," and going through "a nightmare," during this period of limbo, a senior Allen staffer tells CNN.

In a conference call with his senate staff and regional representatives Wednesday afternoon, the Virginia senator "didn't concede but he was clearly not emboldened to fight this," according to the staffer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
