Senior staffer: Allen 'not emboldened to fight this'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- As the canvassing continues in Virginia, Sen. George Allen, R-Virginia, is sequestered in his home, "shell shocked," and going through "a nightmare," during this period of limbo, a senior Allen staffer tells CNN. In a conference call with his senate staff and regional representatives Wednesday afternoon, the Virginia senator "didn't concede but he was clearly not emboldened to fight this," according to the staffer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. An Allen loss to his Democratic challenger James Webb, would give Democrats a one seat majority in the Senate. --CNN Congressional Correspondent Andrea Koppel |
