The Blue State Conservatives: Allen for President: "Allen is a conservative with a solid voting record in the Senate and unlike some of the other choices such as Frist and Rice, Allen has exective experience. Prior to his election to the Senate he was Virginia's governor. If you don't think that is important look at recent history. Four of the past five Presidents have been governors (three from Southern states). Allen also has national security experience from serving on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."

Good case, but I'll stick with Gingrich as my guy. He continues on to discount support from McCain or Guiliani, and I agree that they are too moderate for my support. The primaries bring out the ideologues, and I'm one of them. We need a conservative in the White House, but I can handle a monderate presiding over the Senate, especially when the GOP has 55 seats. Hugh Hewitt is also talking about George Allen, so maybe I should have included him in my pool. Either way, a lot could happen in 3 years.
