E Pluribus Unum

This morning, the Post has published a major article about George Allen. It goes into great and exhuastive detail about his past -- his turbulent family life, his racist past, etc. It's the kind of story that will be used as source material for every piece that henceforth gets written about Allen -- if he wins re-election and later runs for President.

If character counts, if voters make a decision based on who a candidate is more so than what he says or does, then this story is not good for Allen, now or later.
