I wonder if Allen can sue this butt clown for libel. Allen has never been "scandal plagued". Perhaps Conservative need to quit taking this crap from the Leftist slime machine and actually hold them accountable for their speech. Free Speech does NOT include the right to knowingly lie about your opponents.
Going into this election cycle, Allen was the best positioned candidtate with a nice organization in place already. Part of Allen coming to Thompson means taht a lot of those people are not active for Thompson. I think it would be a mistake to underestimate the kind of ground effort he can mobilize at this point.
