Let him ride?

Levi Leipheimer (and various other interests, I'm sure) is pouncing on the election year buzz, using a campaign style website to drum up support to get him on the 2008 TdF. I went and left my name, even though this certainly has a Johan Bruneel kingmaker feel to it. I like Levi, his total lack of affect notwithstanding. I also think that if the ASO keeps kicking people out, we're going to be crowning, like, the guy who comes in 47th.
