Of course there is good and bad charisma...Clinton and the like have the darksides charisma. I believe Romney has the good charisma just like Reagan had. A candidate needs to draw people and make them enthusiastic. Just being right on the issues isn’t enough. Dole was right on the issues but didn’t have enough projection of enthusiasm.
I am STILL not ready to jump in with Romney. The shallow people of this country want charisma, slick — ie they wish to be played the fool and they may well be in the majority, BUT — right/wrong, win/lose — I will vote issues.
