Allen "recently huddled with National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn to discuss a prospective bid" and "sent a strong signal to other ambitious state pols by informing GOP members of the Virginia congressional delegation in early 2010 that he was thinking of running for Senate." "An Allen entry would set up a dramatic rematch against the freshman Webb, who capitalized off a mistake-ridden Allen campaign in a contest that was once thought to be out of the Democrat's reach."
