I would expect Allen will go w/the establishment ...McDonnell has endorsed him as I recall; so, given that “Little Bob” is Mitt’s guy and has been out campaigning for him actively, I would expect Allen will fall in line w/the “inside the beltway” crowd too.

This will be difficult ~ win with Allen then purge him from the party.

Sounds like a plan but if we are at $9 a gallon gas by election day it's quite doable.
