I guess it would be OK for you if the illegals were all white EuroSocialists instead.

Actually, the best candidate will draw to him the best team. It's a vicious circle. The best campaign workers (managers, pollsters) will go to the candidate they think has a reasonable chance to win.

I suspect that Senator Allen will view that as a challenge to overcome not an obstacle to success.

Senators have a hard time winning Presidential elections

Allen is a former governor with Executive experience.

I see you're making light of the third world immigration issue.

I surmise that you must be benefitting from it.

You're posterity, eventually, won't. Mark my words on this. I know what you're thinking. You think that when the sh*t starts to hit the fan, you'll be running back to civilization - Europe. Well, I'm here to tell you that I will be here to defend our forefathers' heritage from the hordes of third world illegal aliens.

I'm all for that ticket, but the problem is Senators have a hard time winning Presidential elections

If Hitlery runs, that is a moot point.

That's right! I am not voting for any man that cheats on his wife. I don't know about Owens, but I do know Tim Hutchinson.

George Allen was governor of Virginia before he was term-limited out. He has exec experience. It shouldn't be a problem.

I want them here legally if they are to enter the country.

According to a Handgun Control Press Release, aka Brady he received an "A" from the NRA.

I'm in Spotsylvania County which is split 80/20 between the 1st CD (Jo Ann Davis) and 7th CD (Eric Cantor); social and fiscal conservatives, we love them both! I've been hearing a lot of chatter in DC about Jo Ann taking the next open Senate seat. She already holds the distinction of being the first woman from the Commonwealth elected to the House, that would give her both honors.

I'm curious if you think the fact that Cantor is Jewish could hurt him statewide? Or help him? Or have no effect?

If you were Allen would you run for Senate in 2006 or use the two years to distance yourself from D.C.?

Reelect, no question. If he didn't run again and Mark Warner picked up his senate seat, that would look really really bad. Even worse than when Bill Owens didn't run for Campbell's seat and Salazar ended up winning.

With a reelect, Allen has an excuse to raise lots of money, which he can save for the prez election (as JFnKerry did) if he doesn't have a tough opponent. If he DOES have a tough opponent (Warner) he'll get added attention and prestige from beating him.

I think of him as the anti-Lieberman. I don't know that his religion has really mattered that much.

Good point, just about all of the demo's stars are Senators except for Dean who doesn't have a chance.

I like George Allen and Mark Sanford. I'm kinda torn on whom to throw in with (not that anyone is really clamoring for my support :) I think an Allen-Giuliani ticket would be unbeatable.

There's a lot of hype over Warner running on the dem ticket, too. As a number of others have pointed out on other threads, Warner is Edwards-lite (and a horrible governor).

Please add me to your George Allen ping list -- as Mud can attest, I have been a fan of his for a long time and think he should run with J.C. Watts in 2008! That is my dream ticket.

J.C. spent countless hours in the black communities this time to get more votes for the President and is still very popular all over the Country. George Allen has been at the top of my list for a long time and thought he has done a fantastic job heading up NRSC!

Don't count Howard Dean out. If I were still a looney liberal democrat......I would want Dean to run in '08. If he doesn't go for DNC chairman, he's getting ready for '08.
