VA SEN-let's get it on!

All signs point to a preemptive war buildup in the Old Dominion State. The Democrats have fielded not one but two serious candidates. One, the self-funder and friend of ex-Gov. Warner Harris Miller. The other, netroots favorite and ex-Reagan Sec. of Navy James Webb.

On the other side, intellectual lightweight but strategy smart Senator George Allen. After defeating Chuck Robb six years ago by about 225K votes, the former Governor and son of famed Redskins coach by the same name is one more football analogy away from pissing his pants.

His chief of staff is Dick Wadhams, who engineered the paid bloggers for Thune as well as the rest of the nasty mudslinging victory over ex-Minority Leader Tom Daschle. Before that, he saved Sen. Allard's butt in Colorado with similarly nasty tactics.

Turdblossom II has now "taken a leave of absence" to run Allen's reelection campaign. We have to punish bad behavior and end Wadhams' winning streak before he gets the keys to a national campaign.

This is just one more sign that George Allen is taking Webb and Miller very, very seriously. I can't wait to see the negative ads, they should be out by this summer.
