I remember the 1960 election pretty well. I doubt anybody who thought a Kennedy victory would mean the Pope moving to DC was swayed by charisma - and there are a whole lot more Catholics than Mormons in the US.
Kennedy was hard not to like - Romney less so, but he still has the teeth and the hair and the jaw. I mean, lets get our priorities right - we vote for president the way we cast a movie. With Obama's resume he never would have been considered a candidate without half of his genetic makeup. If Romney looked like Mitch McConnell ...

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
