George Allen: A tough fisking
Posted by Raven on July 27th, 2005
Rick has an excellent write up about a possible candidate for POTUS in 2008. I consider this to be a very good fisking of George Allen; and this is what is really important these days. We need to start looking at who might be the next President of the United States…and we need to find a candidate who best represents our values and ideals. It’s one of the most important things to be focusing on right now.
Good work Rick.
On the plus side he’s young, attractive, from a southern state, not a fire eater, popular with his fellow Senators, appears to be capable of raising lots of money, and projects a moderately conservative image.
The biggest minus is that he’s an unknown quantity for both conservatives and the rest of the country. I’m also not enamored with his speaking style which at this point is conversational rather than inspiring. And he just hasn’t done enough to separate himself from the crowd. Also, he’s a sitting Senator which as we’ve seen, has historically been a detriment to running for President. In other words, he just hasn’t made a big impression on even a political junkie like me.
Since I think that the GOP’s best hope for ‘08 lies in nominating a southern or western conservative, Allen bears watching.
I agree.

Can we take another George, though?

I can take another George anyday.
Especially when it could be HILLARY.
Ick. Puke. Gag me.
