While George Allen is concentrating on his re-election race against James Webb, he is clearly on the minds of New Hampshire Republicans:
PORTSMOUTH — U.S. Sen. George Allen of Virginia came out on top in a N.H. Insider poll that asked people whom they would vote for if the 2008 Republican presidential primary were held now.
The poll took place between June 8-13, and targeted N.H. Republican insiders, activists and leaders via e-mail, said Stephen DeMaura, founder of the N.H. Insider Web site.
(…)
Allen claimed the highest number of votes with 16 percent.
(…)
Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani came in second with 13 percent, and Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney was third with 12 percent of the vote.
Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee both received a 2 percent of the vote
The name that’s missing ? John McCain.

If the war continues to go badly, Allen won’t get to NH. After November, he won’t be able to even cross the Potomac.

Michael,
Maybe. Although I think its becoming apparent that the Democrats could’ve done better than Jim Webb
