Allen's Advisers Try Mute-Button Strategy

Weeks after George Allen 's mouth got him into serious trouble, the senator's advisers have apparently decided that he should shut up.

At least when it comes to talking directly to the media, that is.

With less than a month before Election Day, Allen (R-Va.) has become virtually impossible to interview directly, giving his campaign handlers much more control over the message they send to voters. What voters see this month will be -- they hope -- only what they want voters to see.
