George Allen thanked God. Again. He did not thank "the owners of the government of Virginia" as he calls the citizens of the State. By the slimmest of margins, they have elected the democrat Jim Webb to the Senate.
Yet it might not be the final uprooting of George Allen: in his concession speech, he alluded to the trees surviving the tempest, with the other senator from Virginia, John Warner, by his side. And the senior senator will not run for reelection in 2008.
