<p>I had to post this because - as my screenname would suggest - I am a University of Virginia Alum. </p>

<p>2008 may be the year another a Virginia-affliated person becomes President (Woodrow Wilson attended Virginia for a little while). </p>

<p>On the Republican side:</p>

<p>Senator George Allen (Va): Former Governor of Virginia, UVa Undergrad and Law - Considered front-runner for the GOP by May 2 survey conducted by the National Journal (yes, that’s right, front-runner over Bill Frist)</p>

<p>On the Democratic side:</p>

<p>Senator Evan Bayh (Indiana): Former Governor of Indiana, UVa Law - Considered one of the top VP candidates if he doesn’t win the nomination.</p>

<p>Go University of Virginia!</p>

<p>There are many alums who are senators, representatives, governors and we have also had 3 Supreme Court Justices.</p>

<p>If we want to talk about VA candidates for President, let’s first mention the 800-pound gorilla in the room, Governor Mark Warner (GWU/HLS). </p>

<p>There is no way George Allen will win the Republican nomination. Types like Frist and McCain stand a much larger chance, and the National Journal is hardly an unbiased source.</p>
