Recently, Virginia Senator George Allen was quoted
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/03/AR2005120301347_pf.html)
as saying that his supports should "stand behind 'common-sense Jeffersonian
conservative principles' that have helped propel the GOP in national and
state elections." Current politics aside (if that is possible) I was
wondering what Viriginia historians would make of the views of TJ that might
be called conservative today, and which might not be....
