Video: George Allen Weighs in on 2008 Race
May 22, 2007
Forget the phrase "Where in the World is Matt Lauer"? How about "Where in the World is George Allen"? I found him! I interviewed him yesterday at his home near Mount Vernon in Virginia because I'm working on a future story about the legacy of Ronald Reagan and how that is impacting the 2008 GOP presidential race. Allen knew Ronald Reagan very well and so did his father. He is now heavily involved in promoting the Reagan Ranch Center and the conservative values that the group teaches to high school and college students around the country,
Anyhow, at the end of the interview I asked him his thoughts on the 2008 Presidential race. You can watch the 6 minute clip above. Now, let me say a few things. He really didn't want to come out and talk forcefully for or against any candidate so realizing that, I did not try and pin him down. So all you hard nosed readers who wanted me to 'pin him down", sorry you're not going to get it. Allen wasn't going to go there and leading him there wasn't going to matter. Allen was in full "11th commandment mode" (don't talk negatively about a fellow Republican) He does however offer some guidance for voters when choosing a candidate.
Let's remember here. George Allen could have been the "Reagan conservative" candidate that many within the GOP are longing for. But after what happened last November, those plans are on hold indefintely. Comments?
