It's august, a lot can happen until novemeber. ALlen had a really bad week and a half, everybody has been pouncing on him. This is what happens as a result of that. He'll rebound back and still win this thing. The other thing most people seem to forget, is yes allen did have a huge lead earlier, but that lead but the gap was bound to close. This isn't utah, allen won here his last election 52-48, and two democrat governors have been elected back to back. Allen will win this thing, but people who expect him to win like 65-35 are just silly.
I believe it will blow over. I think between now and November he'll get his momentum back unless he does something stupid again. I think he'll be careful.
