Jim Webb (D) has the momentum in the polls, the “naughty novel” strategy isn’t working, and Sen. George Allen (R) is struggling to get on track. This won’t help.

A first-year University of Virginia law student shouted a question at U.S. Sen. George Allen Tuesday at the conclusion of a rally at the Omni Charlottesville Hotel.

Allen declined to answer the question about whether he had ever spat at his first wife and the student, Mike Stark, was pushed away from Allen by a former Albemarle County GOP official.

That’s only part of it. Stark, whom many of you may know as the blogger behind Calling All Wingnuts, wasn’t just “pushed away” by a Republican activist; he was quite literally tackled by a series of Allen supporters, some of whom may have been Allen staffers. The video of the incident is already online.

Of all the off the wall questions that a Presidential candidate must get, I am sure that “have you ever spat on your wife?” doesn’t surface that often.
