Sen. George Allen: Void
By Ryan Sager on Misc. CPAC

I've heard a lot of hype about Sen. George Allen. The words "heir to Reagan" have come up more than once.

If Allen is Reagan's heir, I demand a paternity test. This guy is a void.

As the keynote speaker of last night's CPAC dinner, he couldn't command a room. The beginning of his speech was lost below the din of the dinner.

And it's just as well.

The speech itself was remarkably banal.

His "three key missions" for the U.S.:

1) Security (War on Terror, etc.)

2) Competitiveness (education, taxes, etc.)

3) Values (for some odd reason, reducing pork was included under this header)

He used a lot of football metaphors, calling his speech before CPACers a kind of "team meeting." He kept calling the crowd "team."

Put a fork in this guy. He's not going anywhere.

Actually I think Rudy would have a good shot at Fla. We have a lot of transplanted New Yorkers here which might be willing to vote for him, regardless of party affiliation. I cant speak to Va. jdn
