We need to become a juggernaut...but, I think getting behind George Allen is a little premature...
I am not sure has what it takes....I'm just sayin..
Did anyone really think that W would be the President he is, in 1998?
Have to agree. I can't see it. I don't have reasoned objections to Allen but it's just not happening for me.
Mississippi got almost no coverage after Katrina where, over all, the destruction was more extensive than in New Orleans. But Republican Governor Haley Barbour activated the appropriate agencies and was hands-on in rescue and recovery and re-building. He is a no-nonsense conservative and someone who naturally inspires trust and respect. I think glamour boys like Allen have little appeal to Conservatives.
Aside from the Media's ceaseless game of "Get Bush," I wonder if their indifference to what was happening in Mississippi was to prevent us from comparing and contrasting Haley's strong, silent response to Katrina, with the hand-wringing and failure of the the Democrat Governor Blanco, Democrat Mayor Nagin, Democrat Senator Landrieu.
I think he could make whoever is the Dem candidate shrink next to him.
