It would cause you to vote for Hillary?
Or to sit out the election because there is not one other issue you care anything about?
Give me a break.
I would love to see George Allen as President, but he is certain loser.

Why doesn't your list include Jeb Bush? Imagine how many people would vote for him because they think he is his dad or his brother. (IIRC that story was debunked. What confusion that existed was almost entirely among those who would be classified by pollsters as non-voters. Clearly, they weren't paying much attention.)
Do not panic. The election isn't being held tomorrow. Candidates who are unknown right now have plenty of time to capture the public's attention. I think that George Allen would be a fabulous candidate. Reassuring to conservatives but not frightening to moderates and liberals (much like the Gipper). At this point in previous election cycles, Jimmy Carter was an out-of-office, ex-governor, peanut farmer, Bill Clinton was unknown nationally, George W. had just started to capture national attention following his landslide re-election, and John Kerry was a junior, back-bench Senator. All were obviously able to run viable campaigns.
I think that Hillary is a paper tiger. While we shouldn't underestimate her, we shouldn't make her into some political dynamo that she is not.
