Allen is a former Governor, speaks well, has a good smile and is genuinely likable. That goes a long ways in running for the Presidency. Whether I would support him depends on what other Republicans are running. Politics is about comparative choices.

Virginia's tied with Ohio for eight. William Henry Harrison, U.S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William Howard Taft, and Warren G. Harding were from there. Virginia would need Allen to break the tie.

Just what we need another inarticulate, big spending, go along - get along, privileged frat boy who never had a job that didn't involve spending taxpayer money. Don't say how he cut the budget as Gov cuz the minute he got to the Senate... Farm bill...yes Highway bill....yes Medicaid expansion...yes Energy fiasco of a bill....May Crude Fri up at $69.65...yes But since he's pro-life that makes everything OK.

Allen might make it nine, but not Warner. He's a Hoosier by birth.

"He will need to clarify this ... but as a Senator he has been solidly pro-life ... and there is little doubt that he would appoint strongly conservative judges when the time comes."
"He will need to clarify this ... but as a Senator he has been solidly pro-life ... and there is little doubt that he would appoint strongly conservative judges when the time comes."
Those were two very reasoned comments on George Allen.
In my opinion Allen is honest, Conservative enough, southern enough, and most of all, electable!
I don't agree with everything he has said or done, but he has the best chance in 2008 of being elected, over anyone the RATS have to offer.

From what I've seen of Allen (which I admit is very little) he's not the most stimulating person in the room.
He may very well be a great president, but he doesn't seem like that dynamic of a campaigner (at least not yet). I personally think he's going to get trounced in the primaries.

Interesting that you quote the Washington Blade. But the information is correct. That article is from April of 2004
Allen voted for the Marriage Amendment in July 2004.

He may be a Senator now but he was a great governor here in the state of Virginia. Therefore he has the executive experience that John Kerry and so many of the other nimrods lack. He is not a schmoozer like Bill Clinton but presented properly that may be an asset.

MR. RUSSERT: Something else happened this week, Senator Allen, in South Dakota. And this is how The New York Times reported it: Governor Michael Rounds, the Republican Governor of South Dakota, signed into law the nations most sweeping state abortion ban. ... The law makes it a felony to perform any abortion except in a case of a pregnant womans life being in jeopardy. No exceptions for rape, incest, health of the mother. Would you like to see that law, the law of the United States of America?
SEN. ALLEN: Well, first of all I respect and support the right of the people in the states to pass laws that reflect their values and their desires. For the country, I think each state ought to make those decisions. Personally, I think that there should be exceptions for rape and incest because I look at the person, there as a victim of a crime, and if they so choose they ought to have that option.
MR. RUSSERT: But you would outlaw all abortion except in cases of rape, incest...?
SEN. ALLEN: Oh, I dont think the federal government ought to be making such laws. I think the laws ought to be determined by the people in the states. If South Dakota wants a law like that, they can have that. If South Carolina wants a different law, thats up to South Carolina or Virginia or California.
MR. RUSSERT: And if a state said unlimited abortion on demand, you would abide by that?
SEN. ALLEN: Well, I dont agree with that approach.
MR. RUSSERT: But you said states should have the right...
SEN. ALLEN: But the, but theif a state did thatI cant imagine too many states or any state having one that allows abortion for all nine months for any reason or no reason at all. But that would be the right of the people of states. And for thosebut if a state like South Dakota wants a law like that, even though its not exactly what I would think is appropriate, that does reflect the will of the people. This is a representative democracy and I think thats an appropriate approach.
MR. RUSSERT: That would mean that Roe v. Wade would have to be overturned, which you would support?
SEN. ALLEN: I think Roe v. Wade has been interpreted in such a way that it precludes the rights of the people to decide their laws. When I was governor, we passed the law on parental notification. I think parents ought to be involved if a girl whos 16, 17 years old...
