The Pendragon's Hall

The recent election certainly quashed several presidential ambitions, especially George Allen of Virginia. In a state that proved highly receptive to a marriage amendment, passing it with percentages in the mid 50s, he could not garner enough votes to defend his Senate seat. This just shows how Republicans and Democrats alike have to appeal to morality in order to win an election in this country. The Democrats who defeated incumbent Republicans had to be moderate or conservative Democrats. Nothing has changed. America is still basically a values-oriented, conservative nation, but the Republican Party did not tie their candidates to this enough. A lesson for 2008.
