The problem for Allen is not the accusations, it's the way he handles them. He is simply not quick enough. Romney is very smooth. He can answer an accusation and make it sound like it was nothing and is believable. He became a Republican gov. of the most liberal state on the East coast and he wasn't even from there.

I think Evangelical Christians will not be too concerned about his being a Morman because they know that Mormans usually try to live moral lives. These days, if a politician has a sense of Christian morality, Christians will accept his method of worship. I have predicted that Romney will be the GOP nominee. He is the only man out there with the necessary talent to win. I may have to eat my hat, but that's my "feeling" and I'm sticking to it.

So tell me what is a "quick" or "smooth" way to say "I never called anyone a nigger?" I'll readily admit that Allen was clumsy in responding to the 'macaca' smear, but that was just about blown over when this n-word crap hit the Net yesterday. Democrats got desperate because the latest poll showed Allen still comfortably ahead, even after the three-week macaca-fest.

Wrong. I'm an Evangelical Christian and I won't vote for Romney. If he's the Republican candidate I'll stay home. Millions of others will do the same.

I'm not going to attack the LDS church or defend not voting to the utilitarians on FR who will always vote for the lesser of two evils.

I disagree, romney had stumbles during his 2 campaigns and didn't handle them as well as slick as his supporters seem to think he would a future one. Theres also a big difference, romney has never faced the kind of scrutiny allen has. Better allen gets this now and knows how to deal with it in '08. Make no mistake, in '08 dems will come after romney (if hes the nominee) with just as much and he will stumble. Allen if he's our nominee will likely respond much better.

This race has turned into a great way to prep allen for a presidential race, something none of the other '08ers have going for them. He can turn around in '08 and say look, i won in a purple state against a moderate democrat who ran against the war, and i was able to get past the media barrage against me.
