If I had to pick the GOP nominee today, I'd say it will be George Allen. My one area of contention with the analysis you posted is the "senator dilemma" for Allen. The reality is that Allen represents Virginia in the U.S. Senate because the state's very strict term limits law prevented him from serving more than one term as governor.

Allen is far more "presidential" than your typical U.S. Senator, and at this stage he appears to have all the right stuff -- he's from the South, he's relatively young, wears cowboy boots, and comes across as very direct and forceful as a leader.

Allen will easily get the Washington Redskin fans being the son of the former coach.

Ah, and indeed, that Allen would be facing a fellow Senator in Shillary.

I left off a lot of the people because of either 1)extremely low activity/low name recognition/or the fact that they simply have no chance in hell (Pataki).

My personal ticket is Allen/Rice.

I plan on adding and updating as players start entering and/or exiting the field.

I hope they check all the closets for skelatons early and often.

Allen is my first choice by far.

If Hillary Clinton was a Republican, she would be a shoe-in.

If she runs, her opponent must tread a fine line between being anti-Clinton and anti-woman.

It could be a similar race to when her husband beat GHWB if W can prevail in the war on terror.

I fear Americans are just stupid enough to elect another Clintoon.

I hope I am very wrong.
