Too bad he’s from Chesapeake, he could have run for the House instead and possibly had a chance if he’s that impressive. He’s not even the most prominent of Allen’s primary opponents, that’s Bob Marshall. I don’t see how he doesn’t come in third.
My feelings on the matter would depend largely on the answer to the question in title of this thread. Being unknown a poll would show him down huge initially.
Obviously the grassroots in not in love with George Allen but Allen’s odds in November are no lower than 50%. I don’t think you can say that about Marshall or Jackson.
Eh, it's Virginia. RATs occasionally win U.S. Senate seats there but I think the state leans Republican and any of the 3 GOP candidates would have at least a 50% shot at winning in November. I think the only reason the Dems have two Senate seats now is the GOP dropped the ball. With George Allen, it largely depends on whether the 1994 version or 2006 version runs against the RAT. The 2006 version snatched defeat from the jaws of victory (his campaign team fiddled while Rome burned and laughed away poll after poll saying the race was tightening), and I sure hope he's learned his lesson. Unfortunately I haven't seen the old George back.
