Senior Administration Official Resigns
Claude Allen, President Bush's principal domestic policy advisor, has resigned. A White House spokesman told the Chicago Tribune that Allen wanted to spend more time with his family.

Republicans who know Allen are uncertain why he stepped down so suddenly. Late last week, he was in good spirits as he briefed allies and surrogates about the President's State of the Union message. On Tuesday, he attended a conference in PA on the president's faith based initiative.

Allen enjoys a warm relationship with moral conservative groups in Washington. As a senior political appointee at the Department of Health and Human services, he was the administration's point person on abstinence initiatives.

Allen began his political career in North Carolina, working for Sen. Jesse Helms. In '03, Pres. Bush nominated Allen to be a federal appeals judge, but Democrats blocked a final vote.
