However, I don't think she is a viable candidate for President. In part because she does, indeed, lack a certain type of charisma. She is a wonderful, charming person, but not in a dynamic, showy way. She has been elected and reelected due to her sincerity and appeal across party lines here in Minnesota.

Frankly, I'd like to see her run for Governor of Minnesota, rather than for President. She is much loved here, but is pretty much unknown nationally.

I doubt that she will declare her candidacy for President, anyhow. It doesn't seem like her to do that.
