So the one thing JFK has going for him is that he was good looking?

That's about it. He and Jackie, with her $25,000 gowns cut an image and fashion swath through the country among those who didn't look beyond that. He was the first TV image president. He had the same effect in person. People would walk in a room where he was, take one look, then become his willing slave for the remainder of their lives.

Oh, that is SO creepy. Sounds like predictions of the antichrist.

That quality is charisma. Like it or not, many felt JFK had it. What he did with it is a disappointment, as Buckley points out so well.
