US Airways, DC to Tampa

This flight is packed with GOP debate attendees, media and political both.

In First Class: former House GOP honchos Dick Armey and Bill Paxon, the latter of whom is now a well-heeled lobbyist backing Rudy Giuliani.

In coach with me and the rest of the great media unwashed: former Gov. and Sen. George Allen, R-Virginia, a supporter of Fred Thompson, who tells me he will be live-blogging the debate for Fred.

A colleague points out that 18 months ago, Mr. Allen seemed headed to this debate as a candidate, a strong one, likely on a corporate jet or campaign charter. America is a fickle one.

Jake – Very good, George Allen is a respectful individual, and I think his opinion means a lot. I like he took coach, that show a little humility on his side. Fred is the man he has not wavered at all on issues like others.

Is George Allen still carrying that stupid football around like he is filming the sequel to Cast Away?
