Excuse me ..?? Allen is another "cowboy" .. and I wouldn't mess with him. He may be soft-spoken, but he's running for re-election and I suspect he's trying to keep from making any waves.
If he runs for pres in '08 - I will vote for him.
I will vote for him too, if he's the Republican nominee, but that doesn't mean that a majority of the electorate (or the Electoral College) will do so. Warner is so slick he's managed to persuade a lot of people that he's a moderate and has successfully concealed the fact that he's a liberal. I fear him.
