Well, Something Finally Happened...
I guess this is why they have trackers...
Stupidity has a name right now, and his name is George Felix Allen.
In case you haven't seen the macaca incident is making all sorts of waves in the race. I saw an interesting piece on CNN today. Pretty much tore him to shreds.
This is bad for Allen. He'll still win, but stupid things like this (intentional or not) are pretty much the only thing that can bring him down. This isn't Watergate, but it is something voters will remember. I imagine the Webb campaign is organizing a flier targeting black communities as we speak (well, if their campaign wasn't so disorganized...).
On another note, if things like this are going to become news, why won't the campaigns invest $40 on a tripod? It makes video watchable, and then they might be able to use the video in an ad without it looking like a bad home movie, no matter how good the material is.
