Actually, he is. He has a great deal of charisma in casual encounters and it comes across in the media. He also has the name of another President, and that helped a lot.
If George Allen starts showing up on talking head shows and being charming, and maybe changes his name to "Ike" he might be electable, otherwise he's gonna be another Bob Dole.

Anyone who would mention George Allen and Bob Dole in the same sentence definitely doesn't know the man. I've met both several times. If Allen runs for president, it is because he genuinely wants to accomplish something, not because he is next in line the way Bob Dole was.
Allen DOES have that rock star quality and once he does start campaigning, he will catch on like wildfire with the electorate. You can take that to the bank. He's right on the issues and he has a great personality.
