Sen. George Allen made his first campaign appearance in the Hawkeye State on St. Patrick's Day at a fundraising dinner for the state GOP organization in Cedar Falls. Allen received a standing ovation from a crowd of about 100 & delivered a speech that was periodically interrupted with applause. The potential 2008 candidiate invoked the names of Jefferson & Reagan while testing themes of less goverment and a "no amnesty" immigration policy. Allen ws quick to remind the Iowa residents that his famous father got his first coaching job at Morningside College in Sioux City. Allen concluded his speech by tossing a signed green football to the "big guy in the white shirt" & yours truly hauled in a twenty-yard spiral from the former Virginia quartrback. Allen was warmly received by the Iowa GOP faithful. Several media types including the NY Times sent reporters to this event who interviewed attendees for their reaction to Allen's potential 2008 candidacy.
