210. IMHO Kerry had one BIG problem....NO Charisma

Charisma is hard to define. John Kennedy had it by the ton.
So does Bill Clinton. So did Ronald Reagan. I think it is the
ability to connect with people, just be able to talk to them
and make them feel comfortable. Kerry is more of a policy wonk.
He seems to be very knowledgeable on issues as the debates proved.
But he can not make small talk in front of a crowd.

It is too bad we lost John Kennedy Jr. He had name recognition,
looks, and charisma. Where is our Mitt Romney? Heck I would settle
for someone like Jeb Bush. Or, better yet where is our Arnold?
