"SF, I read more non-fiction books in a month then you do in a year, so you can knock that crap off please."
yes mam,
"As for Richardson, he doesn't have it. It's a way of modern America, since the first televised Presidential debate, that a candidate is going to have to have some charisma. Don't scold me about it, I am not the one who voted in 2000 based on who seemed to be the cooler guy to have a beer with.
And look what happened. That's just the way it is."
So just accept that it is a beauty and hype contest and forget about promoting the best candidate to lead the country? Sorry, that I cannot do. I understand it is the way things have been, but as you said... look where that has gotten us. Clowtoon1 and Bush.
I don't know if it's beauty, I would not call either Bill or W beauties. I mean, Edwards yes. But not those two. Bill had that damned charisma that still gets me to this day. W had something that I was turned off by, that frat boy chumminess, but a lot of people seemed to swoon over it. I really can't explain W actually.
But if a candidate has that special something, star dust, then that's going to go a long way, but not all the way. Look what is happening with Obama who everyone said was the it guy. No one would accuse Hillary of being filled with stardust and the big charismatic charmer, but she is way out in front. And boy Rudy? I cant' figure that either, that guy is so far from a charmer it's not even funny.
Richardson just has none of it, he's actually clumsy. It's just not going to cut it.
