...Any party that would select a sitting senator to run for president has not paid attention to history... As for the RNC, I hope they are no dumb enough to pull a Dole 1996.

That leaves out McCain and George Allen...who's left? Keating? Barbour?

George Allen was formrly the governor of Virginia and has executive experience. Only Evan Bayh (D-IN)has executive experience among the sitting senatorial candidates.

I'm not sure how is left but unless both side run a senator the non-senator almost always wins.

.....George Allen.....

He was Governor of Virginia and the rule doesn't apply to executives.
