"He's still a draw. People still respond really well to him."—An anonymous Republican strategist, on disgraced Republican Senator George Allen's planned 2012 Senate comeback.
Allen, who is an authentic asshole, lost his senate seat in '06 after referring to one of his opponent's staffers, S.R. Sidarth, a Virginian of Indian descent, as "macaca," which is a kind of monkey.
He's still popular with the rightwingers, though!
