We've been through that point too many times to count. Allen was a very effective Governor of Virginia. In Virginia, governors cannot succeed themselves.
Frankly, I'm glad he beat Chuck Robb for the Senate seat. At least now we have one real conservative. As opposed to a RINO and dem when Robb had that seat.
OK, but if you fans of his are thinking he's gonna just the nomination because you all say so, you're in for a shock.
