On MTP Russert asked Allen FOUR times if he would serve out his term.
Allen dodged the question every time.

MR. RUSSERT: We are out of time. Before we go, Senator Allen, you have said, “The Senate is too slow for me.” Would you pledge to serve a full six-year term if re-elected to the Senate?

SEN. ALLEN: The Senate does move too slowly. Having been governor I like action and I wish the Senate would move faster. But my focus is to keep fighting in the Senate for these ideas.

MR. RUSSERT: For six—will you serve a six-year term?

SEN. ALLEN: I’m the only candidate running on ideas on education...

MR. RUSSERT: OK.

SEN. ALLEN: ...and on energy independence. And I am focused...


MR. RUSSERT: I, I, I’ve read the—I’ve read the brochure. I’ve read the brochure.

SEN. ALLEN: ...and I want—I will...

MR. RUSSERT: But will you serve...

SEN. ALLEN: Sure, and you can put it in as a...(unintelligible)...of my family.

MR. RUSSERT: ...will you pledge to serve a full six-year term?

SEN. ALLEN: I pledge that I’m going to fight as hard as I can for our shared values and vision for Virginia for the next six years in Washington.

2. Battle of the Virginians?
Well actually Warner and Allen (R-Ca.) in 2008???

No probably not anymore. Allen had to have an easy win to even think about running for POTUS and the Macacca thing has to have taken him out of the race (sorry for the pun)
