Allen not running in ’08

According to the Richmond Times:

George Allen on rumors he will run for the Senate in 2008 if John Warner retires: “Not with the responsibilities I’ve taken on. They would make that impossible.”

Glad we got that one out of the way ;)

About Vivian J. Paige

A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!

  2. All I’m sayin’ is that if y’all had listened to me, you would have known that months ago.

  6. Thelma’s stuck in the sinkhole with “W”. She’s going down with him…
    Wonder when she’s going to try and “cut & run” away from his failed policies? Other R-CONS, while they might not be seeing the light, are seeing the writing on the wall and creating a wall larger than the Mexican border with “W”!

  7. To BS like i or not drake won, bottom line. as President Bush i like the sound of that President bush maybe instead of name calling, come up with some ideas and win, 2008 looks very open you better have somthing better than name calling or it might be 1972, 1980, 1984, 1988, 2000, 2004 who are winning all of the electons here?
