I agree, and I never meant to say that I wouldn't support Allen. It's just that the last Senator who won a Presidential election was JFK (albiet with 100,000 dead voters.) Also, many of our Presidents in the 20th century have been former Vice Presidents (Truman, Nixon, Ford, Bush 1.) 2008 will represent a break with that kind of continuity.
i understand, but like i said, that paritcular kind of historical trend means nothing.
