Politics

This year in Virginia, we voters have to decide on a Senator, its a race between incombent George Allen (R.) or Jim Webb (D.).

I can't stand Allen. Let me be upfront about this. He reminds me of a good ol' boy, Virginia style. This means I think he certainly has some racist tendencies, he likes to drink and be obnxious, probably thinks women have a place and that's in the kitchen or raising kids, likes to hunt and do other manly things, you know what I'm talking about, think Dukes of Hazard or Trent Lott. He reminds me a lot of the boys who attended VMI (Virginia Military Institute), which was just down the street from my beloved Mary Baldwin College.

I now have proof of my suppositions of said character of Allen - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/14/AR2006081400589.html

Allen represents Virginia 1950's, Jim Crow laws and all...is that really who we want representing us in the Senate of the United States of America?
