[Dan from Michigan]

Of those listed, I'd back Allen(although I'm very leary about Senators), maybe Owens. I perfer Mark Sanford, and I've heard good things about Tim Pawlenty.

Frist is Bob Dole. Hagel is too tight with McStain.

Rudy is too leftist, as is Pataki.

And I would never ever ever ever ever vote for McCain, even with a gun pointed to my head. I'd be voting for a third party or writing in myself.

Senator Allen was Governor Allen from Virginia before running for the Senate. So he has the Executive experience.
