"Allen v Warner in 2008 is a real possibility."
A recent poll had Allen behind Tancredo.
I like Allen... but... Allen has about 0 name recognition.
That much is to be expected this early.
I have seen polls of political insiders that put Allen near the top of the Republican pack.
And things like that give him an immense advantage over other potential candidates with limited name recognition in terms of fundraising and other aspects of a campaign in the primaries.
Either way, all the serious GOP canididates will have fairly high name recognition come 2007.
