HardStarboard was asking about Romney's conservative bona fides, not George Allen's.

I noticed that afterwards, I'm at work so I was speed Freeping. I figured he/she'd eventually figure it out and besides, it gave him/her an opportunity to learn more about George Allen whether he wanted to or not!

Well, you sure confused the blank out of me. "How could Romney have a 0 score from NARAL?", I wondered. "And why has he taken a position on a Virginia issue?" I then realized you must have been talking about George Allen.

For some reason, I can't quite bring myself to supporting George Allen. Maybe it's because, while being head of the NRSC, he supported RINOs and "moderate" Republicans (Specter, Isakson and Humphreys come to mind) in Senate primaries in 2004 instead of supporting conservatives such as Pat Toomey, Herman Cain and Tom Coburn, or at the very least staying neutral. While I'm willing to give Allen a pass for supporting his Virginia colleague John Warner, since I can understand why one wouldn't want to campaign against the senior Senator of your state, I think Allen should have acted as a conservative and not opposed the nomination of true conservatives in PA, GA and OK.
