MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The historic Peabody Hotel's grand ballroom felt more like a locker-room Saturday morning as the Southern Republican Leadership Conference kicked off its second day. But was the game plan just for 2006?
As the morning's first speaker, Sen. George Allen woke up the slightly sleepy GOP crowd with a speech quite familiar to Virginians who have watched him win races for the House, the governorship, and, most recently, the Senate over the last 20 years.
He harkened the words of his heroes: Ronald Reagan, Thomas Jefferson, and his dad, the late football coach George Allen, Sr. He called the audience his "teammates" and delivered big-applause lines against taxes, federal bureaucracy, and amnesty for illegal aliens.
Dick Wadhams, Allen's chief of staff, said the speech was "as good as I've ever seen him," noting that Allen's remarks were pretty standard stump fare for him.
Allen got standing ovations before and after his roughly 15-minute speech, and then he was the one standing for the next hour and half. A couple of television interviews from the back of the room -- with potential 2008 rival Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas speaking on the stage behind him from across the room no less -- were followed by a growing pack around Allen in the hallway outside the room.

Dear SDGOP,
"Is ru-486 the morning after pill?"
No, it's not.
The "morning after pill" is a high-dose contraceptive that sometimes prevents conception, and sometimes prevents the zygote from implanting in the woman's uterine lining. Thus, sometimes its effect is contraceptive, sometimes its effect is abortifacient. The morning after pill only works for a short time after sexual activity.
RU-486, on the other hand, is just a plain old chemical abortion. RU-486 can be used for a couple of months into pregnancy.

You don't get it.
Abortion is a barometer of a candidate's judgement.
Pro-abortion candidates tend to lean liberal on other issues as well.
Besides, a Republican pro-abortion candidate will lose. Who's going to vote for him? Conservatives will stay home and liberals will just vote for the Dim.
It's unbelievable, isn't it? Allen is a great choice for POTUS. He has the experience and solid conservative credentials. Maybe not 99.44% Ivory soap pure conservative credentials, but he's still a conservative nonetheless.
Plus he's tall - and tall candidates win elections.
