Yeah but the Allen supporters are in denial that their "coservative" state just elected two socialist RAT governors in a row and INSIST that anyone with an "R" next to his name will automatically win Virigina without lifting a finger. (BTW, Kaine did NOT run as a "conserative" Dem, I looked at his position on the issues and he's MUCH further left than the "moderate" Democrat state reps I have out here in the Chicago area! For starters, they don't believe in abortion on demand)
They're also in denial that "yankee game show host" Mark Warner has consistantly beee more popular in Virgina than Allen, and not just with the "yankees in liberal Northern Virgina" Finally, every freeper who proclaims Allen is the best nominee is insistant that "Hillary" will AUTOMATICALLY be the next RAT nominee, even though alot of RATs are sick of her. They don't even want to entertain how we'd be a southern or midwestern RAT governor with a GOP nominee from a safe Bush state.
Luckily I agree with your point. I do not think we should nominate a Presidential candidate who polls like Al Gore in his home state. Gore had been elected statewide thrice in Tennesee as well. Where did it get him when he went up against another southerner?
I whole-heartily support Allen for re-election to the Senate (and I think he'll pull it off easily unless the RATS get a big name in the race), but he's looking more and more like Goldwater/Dole redux in a national race. Conserative? Yes. Electable? No.
We have Rat socialists who govern like Republicans bcause the Republicans have huge majortities in both the house ans senate. Watch what happens to Timmy boy if he tries to do something leftist. LG Bill Bolling will be all over him. The only thing Warner did negative was raise taxes. There is now a move to cut them.
