In early 1995, everyone thought that there was no way that Klintoon could win in 1996 and look what happened.
George Allen is going to become a huge force as he becomes better known.
Hitlery could be totally destroyed once the Barrett Report becomes public, especially if the missing hundred pages are somehow leaked.
In 1996 the Internet was not even close to being as popular as it is today -- clinton couldn't have survived.
I don't see Allen doing anyhting to distinguish himself from the rest of the herd in the senate. he voted for McCain's "torture" bill, I don't see him vocally out there backing the president on this NSA story for example.
If Allen wants it, he better get visible and vocal real fast.
That's why the GOP settled for bob dole as our candidate in 96 rather than trying to get a better choice.
