It's true , let's think:
2004 Kerry Bush - BUSH much more charismatic than the stiff Kerry
2000 Gore Bush - Gore wasn't as bad as Kerry interms of charisma but Bush is still better in that department.
1996 Clinton Dole - Clinton wins of course he is the king of charisma
1992 Clinton Bush - Clinton Charisma KING.
1988 Dukakis BUSH - lets face it Michael was a short little nerd that talked like a robot , HW Bush wasn't a Clinton but he wasn't as bad as him.
Regan Won his two terms of course because he was very charismatic.
Carter much more charismatic than Ford who talked like Frankenstein.
Nixon won when he wasn't up against the golden boy of charisma , JFK
SO ask yourself who's our next president? yep OBAMA!!!
