It will be interesting to watch what he does in 2006...

[BibChr]

Mitt Romney is going to have a hard time connecting with the social sonservative base of the party given his Mormon faith

I don't get that.

My problem with Romney isn't that he's a Mormon. It's that he is, as I recall, a liberal.

Now I have heard of George Allen before....

Unlike Trancedo (sp?) or there was another one the other day that I cannot remember who it was.....I couldnt tell them from Jobe and I think I am a pretty informed voter.....

Rudy is too liberal
Pataki ha
I don't think Frist will win it for the same reasons that Kerry didnt. Senators have a hard time getting elected for some reason, although I think that Frist would stand a much better chance than Senator flip flop....

Mitt Romney is going to have a hard time connecting with the social conservative base of the party given his Mormon faith pro-abortion views.

George Allen ping.

I gotta start makin' me some phone calls...

[iceskater]

You beat me to the ping. :)

[WoodstockCat]

put me on that ping list please.

[Iowa Granny]

For what it's worth: I was a delegate to the Convention in NYC. Watching George Allen work the Iowa crowd on the floor of the convention was a thing to behold.

Pataki had a party, Rudy was everywhere, but it was George Allen who got down to their level and really glad handed the Iowa Delegates.

It will be interesting to watch, that's for sure.

[iceskater]

Did the crowd like him? What was the reaction?

[Corin Stormhands]

done

[llevrok]

I loved george's dad. He was THE coach when the Rams were great. Let's hope jr. has the same stuff.

[Doohickey]

Allen '08? Works for me. Cantor can run for his Senate seat.

[Corin Stormhands]

My wife and both worked for him when he was Governor.

I can assure you, what you see is genuine.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Hope so...the former Gov. of VA and current Senator, George Allen, is a good man.

[Gabz]

I learn something new every day..........

[Corin Stormhands]

What? You thought I was making all this stuff up???

;-)

[ironman]

Please add me to the Allen ping list.

[Gabz]

Of course not..........Now I have a more knowlegeable perpective of why I tend to rely on you for information regarding VA politics!!!!!

I obviously made the correct assumptions when I started lurking around and following the posts of the 3 of you when preparing to move here!!!!

I met his father on an airplane ride from Washington D.C. when I was 7. It was rather odd, I was a Dolphins fan and it was just after the Super Bowl when the Dolphins beat the 'Skins. He was gracious and a gentleman and I still have that autograph.

[Hammerhead]

glad that everyone is catching up to me. I said this two years ago.

If Allen runs, he wins.

The dude is a straight shooter, family man, conservative, and all round nice guy.
