I appreciate the openmindedness. I truly believe that we, as a country, are not in a position to ignore any Conservative with a fresh approach. I also don’t believe that the voting public will ignore someone because they are NOT charismatic. The country got burned by one “PACKAGED” candidate who won. I don’t think they’ll get sold on another.

Yes, there is no "perfect" candidate. And he's not without his appeal... when he first started speaking, this afternoon, it was right after this very impassioned and funny lady, and he seemed very anti-climatic. I almost walked away, but I paused for moment, because there was something compelling about his voice. I ended up listening to the whole speech, and as I said, I was intrigued.

And I should be the last person to reject anyone for being intense and not terribly approachable, because I'm one of those stone-faced loners that give people the creeps. I spend most of my time drifting around staring at people like a vampire in search of its next victim. (I'm usually just thinking about my finances, but I've been told I look like I'm plotting something horrid.)
