Sabato: Allen's "stock is down[,] . . . is hurt" by Kilgore's loss

I missed this earlier, but political expert Larry Sabato had weighed in on the post-election effects on Sen. Allen:

It was also a race, Sabato says, that confirmed the rising star of outgoing Virginia Gov. Mark Warner.

"Oh, he's running. Mark Warner's stock is up in Virginia," he said. "George Allen, a senator, is running for the Republican nomination. His stock is down. He had strongly backed Kilgore. And Kilgore was a prot?g? of Allen's. So, Warner got his candidate elected pretty easily. Allen failed. I think [Warner] is helped, [Allen] is hurt."

Ouch.  Now I see why Jason Miller is in spin and defend mode.
