By most everybody... not the least will be the media.
Allen's going to be the candidate to beat in the South, and I don't seen anyone who can beat him there. He will also be very strong in the Midwest.
Oh please. Other than McCain, can you name a Republican who won't get pounded by the media?
You folks haven't seen George Allen on the campaign trail. I have. Many times.
Never forget that he started out at a 30 pt. deficit against Mary Sue Terrier (two term Attorney General) in 1993. He won that election by 19 pts.
