1. Should we really consider charisma ahead of experience?

Isn't that how we ended up with Bush? Who cares that he was a lifelong failure...I can see myself having a beer with the guy!

2. Bush? Charisma? He has none!

6. Tell that to Joe Average Voter.

He didn't get nearly half the votes in this country in '00 or '04 because of his experience.

4. Go spend some time in Nebraska and ask people there if they think that he is charismatic.

The responses will more than likely shock you.

Isn't popularity the most important qualification for pResident?

9. Charisma is a shallow way of judging a candidate.

Charisma helps . Charisma is in the eye of the beholder.

Bush was both likeable and had charisma. I would say he
has not been my favorite president.

Charisma is a double edge sword. Many Americans are suspicious
of people with lots of charisma.
