 A one-term governor feels the same pressures - to put themselves into a position to be able to say at the end of their four years that they have accomplished certain things without regard to their long-term sustainability.

 Allen has a position within the ideological spectrum of the Republican Party that serves him well in a primary. He's really appealing to the party activists within the Party. And that's good for candidates who are running in primaries.

 And I don't think they will - particularly because I don't think that Webb can afford to run a negative campaign in a Democratic primary, since he already has to convince Democratic voters that he's one of them, and running a negative campaign would be counterproductive in that context.

 Despite the fact that gifts are not restricted, and despite the fact that contributions to candidates are not restricted, the per-donor contribution is not higher here than it is in other states, and the cost of campaigns is not higher here than it is elsewhere.

 For one, what you see happening in Virginia is that the media and the Virginia Public Access Project do a pretty good job of disclosing the information that is available regarding gifts and trips. That's the main reason that the system works so well. It forces public officials to be transparent.

 He has to be really careful about how he positions himself to remain in the spotlight. Luckily for him, he has the money to do it. It's one thing if you don't have the resources. It's another thing if you have the resources, and you can make yourself visible. He's going to have to find a way to do that.

 He has to get down in the trenches and work for some of these candidates.

 I actually don't see it happening anytime soon. Virginia, for better or for worse, likes its traditions.

 I don't think that the Bush-haters of today are any different that what the Clinton-haters were in the '90s or the Reagan-haters in the early '80s.

 If you listen to their comments about each other, the Miller campaign - rather than responding to the announcement that Miller was going to run in a critical way - said we welcome more Democrats to the party. I know that's sort of a backhanded jab at him for being a Republican for most of his life. But neither campaign seems to be turning immediately to the negative.

 In fact, he has a history of not only serving under a Republican president, but he's endorsed Allen before. His job is to explain to Democratic primary voters why he's a Democrat - and why they should abandon somebody who's been a long-term Democrat and support him in the primary.

 It was dirty with Reagan and Iran-Contra and Oliver North. George Bush the elder was a transition president. He didn't create a lot of waves. There wasn't a lot of personal hatred toward him - but if you think back, the personal animosity on the left was directed at Dan Quayle.

 Let's be fair - politics is a contact sport, and it's always been rough. And it's always been personal, to a degree. Thomas Jefferson had to deal with rumors when he was running for president. We all know that history. It's always been kind of rough. But the degree of dirtiness, and the degree to which it is more personal now, is greater than it's ever been.

 Rather than saying I disagree with the policy on Iraq, or I disagree with the policy on health care, it becomes a personal thing. And increasingly, that's what passes for political discourse these days.

 Republicans have a problem that is going to be difficult to deal with. What has to happen eventually is, one, one of the two sides is going to lose interest in the battle, or two, they're going to mutually decide, as Democrats have nationally, to agree to disagree on issues that they know they will never agree on, and focus on the things that they can agree on.
