  Reference.com/Encyclopedia/George Allen (U.S. politician)
George Felix Allen (born March 8, 1952) is a former Republican United States Senator from the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the son of former NFL head coach George Allen.
Allen's career in the House was short-lived; in the 1990s round of redistricting, Allen's district, which stretched from the fringes of the Washington suburbs to Charlottesville and included much of the Shenandoah Valley, was eliminated even though Virginia gained a congressional seat as a result of the 1990 Census.
Allen was elected as a member of the Senate Republican leadership as Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee in 2002, and oversaw a net gain of four seats for the Republicans in the 2004 Senate elections.

 Best of '06: The profile that killed George Allen

 The Rothenberg Political Report: The Political Environment Isn’t George Allen’s Friend
But Allen, a first-term Senator who served as governor of the commonwealth of Virginia, didn’t lose that status because of his third-place showing in the Southern Republican Leadership Council’s straw poll last weekend, or because of his performance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
Allen is perfectly positioned as heir to the Ronald Reagan-George W. Bush legacy.
Allen’s greatest strengths as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination are his upbeat, affable personality, his relentless optimism and his unabashed conservatism — qualities that stood Reagan in good stead during his political career.

 George Allen the racist is also a political whore   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
Seems Allen used his sabbatical between governor and Senator to cash in on contacts made while in the Virginia guv's mansion, joining three Virginia high-tech companies he assisted while in the commonwealth's highest job.
He laundered some of the money through his law firm but we learned long ago that Allen is not particularly smart and he left enough of a paper trail to nail his inappropriate, and illegal, influence peddling.
Then, to compound the matters, Allen tried to steer federal contracts to these companies after he became Senator and then failed to report his stock holdings in his financial disclosure forms as required by law.

 Senator George Allen - Ask the White House - Submit Questions to Bush Administration Officials - WHITEHOUSE.ORG
Like his political mentor George W. Bush, Senator Allen's rise to political super-stardom is attributable purely to his own formidable talents, and not merely the happy coincidence of having the same exact name as a famous, intelligent, and genuinely competent daddy.
Allen's trademark cowboy hat and boots stand as testament to the heritage and authenticity of a man who spent his entire youth and early adulthood frolicking in the surf of Palos Verdes, California –; and not, as many assume, the enormous cattle ranches for which Virginia is famous.
Besides, with a last name like Allen, I always kinda suspected there might be some kike blood in me. I used to have this weird recurring dream (still do, actually) where me and Woody Allen are taking turns porking that little zipperhead daughter of his.

 Brendan Nyhan: George Allen's ugly history on racial issues
Allen also used to display a Confederate flag at his house, which he claims was part of a flag collection.
George W. Bush and Allen are quite alike in intelligence, which is to say that their kind is especially tuned to politics, the getting and keeping power, and not running and efficient and neutrally effective bureaucracy bent to the common good.

 George Allen and Jim Webb debate on Meet the Press. - By John Dickerson - Slate Magazine
The polls show it's close, and the traditional stereotypes have been twisted: The Republican, George Allen, is the candidate with less standing on national-security issues, and the Democrat, Jim Webb, has a women problem.
When Allen tried to argue that Webb's opposition to the first Gulf War put him to the left of the French (boo France!), it seemed laughable on its face, which was a good thing for Webb, whose response went from expansive to unintelligible.
Allen's flag fancy lasted well into his adult public life, and he ducked Russert's question about his opposition to a holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr., but the dip and dodge has served Allen well in politics.
