"Senator Allen is very pleased that a Virginia leader of such prominence would agree to be treasurer of this important committee," said Wadhams.

While Matalin's high-profile among Republicans is sure to aid Allen's reelection fundraising, her real importance is properly understood in a 2008 context.

Allen has made little secret of his interest in a 2008 presidential bid and is sure to get a boost among party insiders and activists by landing the well-regarded Matalin. Earlier this year, Allen brought on former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie to serve as chairman of his Good Government political action committee....

2. Does not make me think better of either one of them.
Her marriage to Carville made me wonder about his sanity.

6. Well, I'm not sure the move's going to help either one of them.
I'm strongly biased in favor of Ms. Matalin's husband's party, so that's part of it.

The other part is that I think Allen is dumber than a bag of hammers.

Or does he just act like that on tv?

Does anybody know if that guy has any brains at all?
