Ed Gillespie Joins Team Allen

Of all the stories in today's Hotline, this one has more '08 ramifications than just about any other:

Ed Gillespie, one of the most well-respected, most well-connected Republicans in Washington -- he's the RNC chair once removed -- has signed on to be the treasurer of Sen. George Allen's political action committee, Good Government for America.

"I am a big fan of Sen. Allen's," Gillespie, a fellow Virginian, said in a brief interview. "I'm proud that he's my Senator."

The papers were signed last week; the PAC's former treasurer retired in December.

1. Then bet on Allen - BushInc has chosen him or Gillespie wouldn't be there.

Jeb is probably set up for the VP.

4. Exactly. It seems all of McCain's sucking up to Dubya will be for naught.

2. Howdy Doody '08.

3. You got that right!

Allen is the only GOP nitwit who could elevate Georgie from the resident Howdy Doody to Buffalo Bob. :puke:

[blm]

7. He's George Bush with the dumb sentences completed. Another fascist family

who believes they're entitled to run the world with their crony elite. And he has his mask of theocracy in place to fool the deluded religious voters.

5. George Allen is such a pathetic doofus...Let Gillespie take their money...

:rofl: They really are desperate if they are going with Allen. I think there's someone else who they really want when Allen implodes and that's Mitt Romney. They'll get Allen out of the way pretty soon but take the RW'ers who will support him's money before Romney kicks in the Huge Bucks.

6. Yeah, he's almost as well-connected as Abramoff.
