If George Allen won the 2006 VA race, Would he have won in 2012?

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Allen is a...fickle and interesting figure in Virginia Politics. He was the end of an era for GOP Dominance of the state as it started to turn Blue with only Gilmore and McDonnell having been Elected as the only Republican Governors since then compared to the 4 Democratic Governors of the last 20 years alone. He's a paper tiger when you take everything into consideration. He seems strong and looks like the best choice for the job, but he's easily prone to gaffes and could easily fall apart. Any hopes of winning would be a bare chance in 2012 and would be dependent on the GOP Nominee winning the state/the Election unless the Democrats manage to mess-up badly with the race some-how despite having a stellar bench for that race.
