No one said it was going to be a cake walk.
I am quite sure the Dems are going to try and bloody him up in his Senate reelection race. The harder they try to do that, the more I'll know that they consider him a real threat in '08.
All I can say is, of the potential candidates that we know about now, he's the best one IMHO. I agree with you on Rudy and McCain. Allen was one of the best governors we've had in years.
The libs will have confederate flags splashed everywhere if Allen is nominated. Anything that is opposed to their pc totalitarian fanaticism will be met with shrill hysteria by the wingnuts in the press. They will do everything they can to put Allen on the defensive about that stuff.
And McCainiac and Rudy the Lib will be the first to denounce the guy.
Never said I expected that. But what's interesting is that no one can give me a reason they support him on this thread othetr than "Because."
