I don't know about Allen--
The theory that I have heard about why Senators don't get elected as POTUS is because they have a voting history that can trip them up--plus, they don't have the experience of "running" a city or state, which would give them executive experience...
I think that fact that George Allen has only been a senator for a short time, which gives him a short voting history, plus the fact that he was a Governor, like George Bush, and Bill Clinton, gives him a leg-up over other senators...
My gosh, the MSM has already crowned Mrs. Bubba, and she is a senator...but hasn't been even a mayor, let alone governor!!!

Let alone any sort of distinguishable Human Life Form. ;)

Valid points. But Mrs. Bubba is rather ahem, persuasive...in a unique way, really. Course, Ron Brown never let himself get intimidated.
Doesn't having been Co-President count for anything?
