He combines the people skills of a Bill Clinton

I'm sorry but Al Gore has more people skills than Allen. Let's be honest here, Allen is dull as dishwater. I'm not saying he's not a good Senator but he's NO Bill Clinton when it comes to people skills. And I hate Bill Clinton.

I beg to differ. He gives wonderful speeches and doesn't come across as phony. He seems to have some of the best parts of Reagan and Bush put together.

True enough.

But only superficial Rats think "people skills" = presidential character.

I'm not saying he's not a good Senator but he's NO Bill Clinton when it comes to people skills.

Remember, there was a time that Clinton was highly criticized for his long winded speeches...he polished up his act. As for Allen, I have only once seen him outside of the Senate (on CSpan) and was quite impressed with the strength of his beliefs, personable style and message.

Ironically, I think thats his best strength.

He has better people skills then everybody else.

Even the DUmmies are noting it.....and it scares them.
