George Allen ping.
Gopher State bump for George.
Sen Allen spoke at the Oklahoma GOP Convention on Saturday morning -- when he left after the speech, those Allen in 2008 signs outside the Convention were true -- he is definitely the frontrunner among Oklahoma activists. He was also at our banquet on Friday night when J.C. gave an awesome speech and moved closer to announcing for our OK Governor's race.
Senator is one of the most articulate, witty speakers I have ever heard and he had the whole convention eating out of his hand before he was through. He assured everyone there that the Republicans will use the Constitutional option on judges. From the newspaper article:
U.S. Sen. George Allen, R-Va., who was keynote speaker, said an effort should start this month to eliminate filibusters in the Senate over President Bush's appointees to federal appeals courts.
``It's time for the Senate to do what they were elected to do and that is vote,'' Allen said. ``We're put in these positions to do something, not just warm a seat.''
