WHO IS GEORGE ALLEN? AN INAUTHENTIC CONFEDERATE WANNABE

Jonathan Alter on George Allen, whom he compares to the more "authentic" Jim Webb.

I don't know what it was about the South that so fascinated George Allen and won his allegiance before he even moved here, but there are plenty of indications that it was the political and social supremacy of white males.

No matter if he wins re-election to the U.S. Senate, his presidential aspirations are cooked. Stick a fork in them, they're done.
