I believe Allen may make a run in 2008. I know he's hired some extra people to his staff associated with previous Presidential and other campaigns, which I suppose is the first hint at a run.
(Of course, if Mark Warner somehow decides to run for Senate and beats Allen in 2006, all this Presidential talk is moot).
I was checking to see if anyone else had picked up on Allen.
He's a former Govenor, a sitting Senator a non-controversial conservative who has lots of friends in the party.
It would be very interesting to see a match-up between Warner (the best available nominee for the Democrats) and Allen.
How is the least experienced politician the best available nominee??
If you look at the other prospective nominees, you will see that they are all either hard left themselves, or obligated to the hard left.
Warner has managed to deal with moderates.
Warner is a Moderate Populist Conservative. He is better than Giuliani and Romney.
