Longtime politico from Mount Vernon tells Richmond Times-Dispatch it's time to get out of politics, after Nov. 6 loss.
A fixture in Virginia politics is hanging up his hat. George Allen, the former governor and U.S. senator who makes his home with his family in Mount Vernon, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch he has "no intention of running for office again." He and wife Susan “put our heart and soul into this campaign,” he told the newspaper. Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell said Tuesday he is "disappointed" to hear that Allen has taken himself out of the political arena after losing his Senate race last week to Tim Kaine.

Tim Kaine had a roundtable discussion with several Prince William County women Friday at Osprey's Landing Restaurant in Woodbridge.
Democratic U.S. Senate Candidate Tim Kaine parleyed with some of the women of Prince William County Friday about a range of weighty topics affecting the government at both the state and federal levels. Seated at a cluster of white linen-clothed tables in Osprey’s Landing Restaurant along the Occoquan River in Woodbridge, Kaine spoke to the women, some of them business owners, about the value of businesses that employ a small staff. “Small businesses are the job creators,” Kaine said. “Job creators are the startups.” Lawmakers should focus on the policies that make it easier to start a small business and for its owners to gain access to capital, he said.
