In state and nation, George Allen is on the move

"He was wonderful," said Carolyn Scott, a GOP activist from Bettendorf. "He speaks from the heart and accomplished a lot in Virginia. I think he'd be a great presidential candidate."

He will be a wonderful president, the best since Reagan.

Good luck, Senator.

i am beginning to worry a bit about his own re-election in VA.


Is there any chance Tim Pawlenty will get in the GOP rrace. Problem with Allen is that he is a Senator, so probably somewhere he voted against something before voting for it or vice versa...which will be easy to demogogue

[wagglebee]

The only person in Virginia who had any shot at beating Allen was Mark Warner. But Warner has presidential aspirations of his own, he's not going to risk losing a state election. Allen will probably win by 20 or more points.

Is there any chance Tim Pawlenty will get in the GOP rrace.

IMHO, We won't know until after he wins his re-election as governor of Minnesota in November of 2006.

[txrangerette]

President Pawlenty? Not gonna happen... (Nothing against the man) Of course I could be proven wrong. But the names of our past Presidents don't bode well for the oddball Presidential name.

Allen should resign from the Senate if he's going to run in 2008. He could use some R & R and time to formulate policy without the trappings of the Senate.

I'm sure VA has enough good Republicans who can take over his seat.

[georgia2006]

while there is probably no real basis in that comment, it is a good point

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

I'm sure VA has enough good Republicans who can take over his seat.

But a Democrat governor.. a one-termer...I predict.

[Democratshavenobrains]

I don't really know much about Allen, but he comes off as an empty suit. James Webb called him an idiot on TV, which I thought was pretty rude even in present-day politics. Plus, I'm not sure its best to run another candidate named George who has a famous father. Lends itself to jokes pretty easily.

[Gipper08]

for later

[mylife]

Allen has a has been described as reganesque

[Txsleuth]

PING

[wagglebee]

Go see him speak sometime and you will know what they mean.

[Txsleuth]

What makes you think that Allen would be a better president than George Bush?

[reaganandme]

He will be a wonderful president, the best since Reagan.

Allen is the one to lead us to the promised land.

[mylife]

I hope to see him speak in New Hampshire in 08

[Vision]

Good luck, Senator

He already was governor there

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

But a Democrat governor.. a one-termer...I predict.

Better than Allen running for a Senate seat and then running for POTUS a scant one year later. It's way too early for Allen to run for President anyway. Resign, Allen and take some time off with your family or something. Do some brainstorming with the conservative think-tanks.

[wagglebee]

It's a feeling you get when you meet him. It's not to diminish Bush in any way, Allen is just incredible.
