Corporations love George Allen

It looks like George Allen disapoints consumers but is a favorite of corporate special interests. Why am I not surprised? Of course, George Allen loves to brag about how much money he has to run for office, courtesy of these wonderful corporate folks.

Does anyone wonder why George Allen does not like to talk about the bills he supports in Washington when he's out on the campaign trail?
