« The libertarian spoiler, part 2 | Main | Election Reflections » November 08, 2006It's all but official now...Although neither CNN nor Fox News has called the race, the Associated Press has declared Jim Webb the winner in the Virginia Senate Race. This outcome, like the Democratic control of the Senate which it precipitates, was unthinkable two months ago. Even in the immediate aftermath of the "macaca" incident, most expected Allen to win the race even if his Presidential hopes were dashed. I think it's safe to say now that Allen's career as a public office holder is over. And Harry Reid should take S.R. Siddarth (the cameraman who was the target of Allen's fateful jab) out to a very nice dinner.

I don't see his presidential hopes going anywhere, but he's young enough to make another stab at statewide office down the line. The 2009 or 2013 governor's race or a 2012 rematch with Webb might be feasable. One episode comes to mind. After losing the 1962 California governor's race, the loser remarked that "you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore," seemingly ending his electoral career. Six years later, he got elected president. Allen has time to redeem himself.
