If Allen can get those numbers back up and win he will go a long way toward making people think he deserves to be the 2008 nominee. If he loses, he's done, and the field is open.

McCain and Giuliani are in the lead right now, and I don't see anyone stealing those leads from them, but there is a HUGE opportunity for a conservative to take it from both of them. If not Allen, who?

"...McCain and Giuliani are in the lead right now,"

Wow, I missed the Republican primaries.

Why do Freeper of all people fall for this media led polling on who they think the nominees should be?

In actual polling done at state conventions, RINOs like McCain barely show up, but that is not enough for the drive-by-media, all of whom LOVE John McCain (RINO - Drive-By-Media)

I doubt Giuliani will even run, but that may be my own personal wishful thinking.

I don't think either of those clowns could win. They're only leading polls now because of their names, and that will change when the primary draws nearer and the candidates become more known as it always does. Polls now are trash, completly irrelevent in regards to the 2008 presidential election.

If Allen wins narrowly, he's still probably finished as Presidential matter.

Back in '96, Congressman Jim Ross Lightfoot challenged Sen Tom Harkin in Iowa's Senate race.

Harkin's name was occasionally bounced around as possible Presidential material.

Harkin won 54-46% - but was perceived afterwards to be damaged goods because he didn't decisively destroy Lightfoot.
