I've met George Allen a number of times, he is a great man of incredible vision and committment. However, I'm not sure he has the national exposure to have the top spot, I would love to see him as Condi Rice's running mate.

[msnimje]

I enjoy hearing him speak as he is always interesting and enlightening.

[Diago]

If I had to bet the house right now on a next president, my money would certainly be on Allen.

[izzatzo]

I hope he goes for it-I'd sure vote for him.

I wrote to Senator Allen and asked him if he would mind sending a personal letter to my daughter for her 13th birthday. He responded with a very warm, educational, personal letter. I think I was more thrilled by it than my daughter. He is a good man.

I'd love to see former Rep. J.C. WATTS run for Prez....

I think you're right. Anyone who has his resume and is not a household name, and not just among movement republicans, hasn't got that little bit of "Elvis" it takes to be a poitical superstar or beat Hillary.

Bill clinton didn't have national exposure initially and look what happened. I think senator Allen would be a terrific candidate. He has name recognition from his father. I understand he was a great governor.

[ex-snook]

I like him but what dollar daddy will he owe his butt to?

[Rabid Dog]

We heard this guy at CPAC.

[slowhand520]

I like George Allen alot. If he is as focused as his father was he would make a great president

[DYngbld]

my screen saver at work is the windows flying text "Allen/Rice 2008". I actually had someone at work ask me who Allen was, and I LIVE IN VIRGINIA!

[Dog Gone]

Anyone with the name George Allen will have a tough time carrying Texas.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Allen was a governor and if he did not compromise too much as a Senator, Would be a good choice.

How much did we know about GWB in 1997?
I didn't know GHWBush had two sons, let along two sons in politics!!

[byteback]

He's been my early choice since the election. Of course I could change but whomever it is should continue the course. I know some want to shift toward McLame or Rudy but that won't happen. Frist is the most right but he's not too charismatic.

[onedoug]

Watch Rice.

[Republican Wildcat]

"Senator" George Allen - no, sorry.

[traviskicks]

Very interesting! Great find. This is the reason why bloggers are so succesful is cuz this story gets burried by the MSM. He offers a very encouraging view of Jafari(sp).

lol - even the fact that he was worried about being poisoned by a US senator.

VA bill of rights is a great thing to share with jafari(sp), they are a great model. The private property bit is encouraging too. Most people don't realize Iraq was socialized under Saddam Hussein and still is to some extent.

Look, we need a Governor and Condi. Let's look for a native born Governor that is a real Republican, put our efforts behind him and get him ready for '08. I am as sick and tired of this constant campaign as all of us are, but if that's the way the communists want it, that's the way they'll get it.

[Soul Seeker]

If ANY Senator wants to be a front runner they are going to have to take the lead and pass either A) judges B) G.W.'s domestic proposals for S.S. and tax reform. Preferably both.

Otherwise, my conclusion is that they have already failed the first test of leadership a presidential candidate must exhibit. If you can't beat them in your domain, I am sceptical of the ability to beat them in the General election.
