Rising and Falling Stocks for 2008

In the spirit of the NFL Draft this weekend (let's go Belichick!), Jayson at Polipundit offers his views about the rising and falling stocks for the GOP in 2008. First, the falling stars:

1) McCain
2) Bill Frist
3) Rick Santorum
4) Rudy Giuliani

Then, the rising stars: none.

I actually have a couple of rising stars, but the one I am throwing my full support behind is George Allen (R-VA). Granted, he has very little national recognition, but he would be a fantastic candidate. Anyone who sees him on television notices how personable and telegenic he is - and his conservative credentials are impeccable. Allen was formerly a very successful southern governor who helped grow the Virginia economy through low taxes and reduced regulation. I believe he would also likely appeal to independents as a down-to-earth and likeable guy.
