More coming down the pike on the N-word and George Allen. Descriptions vary, but I'm hearing that Larry Sabato, the well-respected University of Virginia Political Scientist and handicapper might be involved. I'm hearing it may involve personal confirmation of N-word usage. Definite problems for Allen's formerly high-flying campaign.

Update, 7:20 PM, Monday: Its obvious from the video that Sabato has heard Allen use the N-word plenty of times himself. When asked point blank about whether or not he had personally heard Allen use the N-word, Sabato said something along the lines of 'you asked the question, its a good one, we are having a conversation and I am not going to answer one way or another.' Apparently both Sabato and Allen are, you guessed it, 1974 graduates of the University of Virginia. Sabato also personally vouched for Mr. Shelton, the accuser on the record in the Salon story. Wow. Allen's presidential aspirations are done, finito. He's now in the political fight of his life. Let's hope the Post goes with this one.
