I met George Allen while he was campaigning for Gov. the first time in ...... '92 or '93? at the Foxfield Steeplechase and heard his commencement address at UVA in the same town that Spring. Impressive. Are you taking this obscure reference he used (along with the TPM guy's interpretation of Allen's intent) and extropolating fromo there that he is a redneck? Or are there other things he has done that identify him with rednecks?

If the latter, let's hear it. If the former, talk about spin!

btw, the Katrina insurance rulings came down yesterday, pm me if you want a copy of the opinion and order.
