A good George Allen flier just arrived in my mailbox. Rather than saying Jim Webb is a big meanie who doesn’t like women, it says “Jim Webb wants to rob Virginia families of the Marriage Penalty tax cuts, the Death Tax cuts, and the increased per-child tax credit.” There’s some detail on the flip side, and it cites the Heritage Foundation as a source. There’s also a photo of Webb with John Kerry. “Virginians simply can’t afford Jim Webb. No way he should be our Senator.”

This is a theme the Allen campaign should have been sounding for a couple of months now. The problem with Webb is that he’s too liberal. Better late than never, I suppose.

The NRSC had nothing to do with it, by the way. The Republican Party of Virginia paid for the flier.
