He is free to rebuild the grassroots network that first got him elected to the Governorship. It was the piss-poor strategy, or complete lack thereof on the part of his campaign manager, that made it impossible for Allen to recover from the Macaca incident. Allen is now free to reconnect with his base and raise plenty of money for a future campaign. It's a skill he honed expertly in his capacity as Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Governor or Senator Allen will undoubtedly be back.
