George Allen in '08! Sweet Nectar of Liberty!!
Well I have heard Rush give his endorsement and now Mary Matalin confirmed on MTP that indeed Allen is the inside track front runner right now.

McCain? Are you kidding? Do you have any idea how much of a empty suit Allen is?

Rice? PUHleeeeeeease

Of course time will tell but Allen is the perfect Republican candidate. Oh a word here needs to be said about Santorum who WAS their new golden boy for a while but it looks like he will have his hands full getting re-elected. Allen is back where they have been grooming him to be for a long time.

Also please don't anyone think this calls for looking behind a curtain to find out how W could have possibly won Virginia by 8% in 2004.

Oh I almost forgot

SWEET NECTAR OF LIBERTY!!!!

3. I used to see him at the soccer field
during practices if his kid was around and I can say that he's as dumb looking up close as he appears on TV. Talk about a vacant stare...He might tie Laura Bush in the Benzo-look.
If he's being touted as front runner over Hagel, McCain and people with an actual brain then we know for sure that the GWB mold is what the elders want in their chief executive from now on.
Oh my, we're so fu*ked!!
:scared:

4. God lord are they serious?
I looked at your links and he sounds darn near pornographic with all that sweet nectar of liberty stuff. More emotional pandering from another empty GOP head.

9. Dead Serious
Al Franken tells the story about being on This Week with him (one of the Sunday morning shows) and Franken mentioned the $8.8 Billion missing in Iraq....Allen had never heard about it.

SWEET NECTAR OF LIBERTY!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Oh boy, I'll have to look into him.
It doesn't sound very good from what you folks have told me. They plan to use the marionette model and manipulate the whole thing from behind the scenes by committee-who? PNAC? Carlyle?

10. The strings are actually visible
but they aren't worried about that. This is basically going to be the football beerdrinking NASCAR good ole' boy campaign with a cardboard cut out. The fear smear (Allen was the 4th string QB at UVa* during the Vietnam era) and WINWINWIN thing all over again.

*UVa at the time was just above a club level team meaning that they weren't very good. It was much more fun and prestigious to be up in the stands drinking bloody marys than it was to be on the football field. Allen basically stuck around because his dad was an NFL coach and since he wasn't a scholarship player he didn't cost them anything. They finally actually let him get in a game or two and this is when they got blown out fairly frequently.

7. He is as dumb as Bush and only slightly more articulate
This will be more of the "who would you rather have a beer with?" type of campaign and there will be many football analogies and NASCAR and personal faith talk. I mean, I am pre-living it right this moment.

13. The perfect Republican candidate
- an empty suit that can be manipulated by Republican strategists and big business, just like Bush,

- able to read a speech, contrarely to Bush, with a minimum of intelligence (not too much, intelligence could be dangerous).

These guys do not want somebody like McCain or Hagel, who are their own men. Somebody like Romney would be nice, except they dont know how the Christian Conservative base would react. Allen is perfect for them.

14. There's only ONE guy who can really destroy him:
former Virginia Governor Warner:

Virginians favor Warner over Allen in poll
Warner edges out Allen 49 to 32 in hypothetical presidential race, Center for Politics poll suggests

Maggie Thornton, Cavalier Daily Staff Writer

Virginians favor former Gov. Mark R. Warner over current United States Senator George Allen by 49 to 32 percent if they were to square off against each other in a bid for president in 2008, according to a poll conducted by the University's Center for Politics released Wednesday.

The poll found Warner led his fellow Virginian in every demographic questioned except for Republicans. The Center's projections suggest that 20 percent of Virginians remain undecided.

The survey was conducted in the three weeks after Democrat Timothy M. Kaine's victory over Republican Jerry Kilgore in the gubernatorial election held this past November. Kaine's election campaign rode on the coattails of Warner, who left office with a 75 percent job approval rating according to a separate Center for Politics survey released last week.

The survey results were derived from a sampling of 1,181 randomly selected Virginians. The data was adjusted to compensate for gender and age disparities, although the Center press release noted that the poll included an over sample of people in the 18-24-year-old demographic.

15. Yeah that is why I think Warner will get the VP slot
Just guessing here but I have been saying this for a while- including Allen being the pick.

So Virginia could be a battleground state..... lots of volunteers ready to go (let me tell you) on both sides.

I think the Allen campaign would say something like "Don't let them put Virginia second" get it? Warner could counter with "I fixed all his whacked out mistakes"

16. I hope he wins the nomination!
George Allen is a yutz that several Democratic candidtates could mop the floor with. Much rather see him get the nod than McCain.
