You know, I read the first few sentences of your post and I thought to myself that this guy is giving Bush a LOT of credit on this charisma bit. Personally, I'd like to think that the average American has enough brains between their ears to sit up, take notice and realize the important issues that are at state in this election. (Even thought that my be wishful thinking) We are in total agreement that Bush is basically a bumbling idiot who is a puppet to his daddy's henchmen.
I think that the main problem with the Democratic Party is that they don't have one solid issue to run on like the republicans do. And I'm not talking about terrorism either. Bush knows that if he'd have to run on real issues he'd get shot down right quick. The republicans have their thing about conservatism and family values and all that crap as their "main" issue topping all others. I think that the dems need something similar. I've noticed that they have concerns with a lot of issues but they don't centralize on any "one" issue. I think that hurts them and Kerry and I think that's one of the reasons why he's seen as somebody who flip-flops back and forth. I think a centralized issue would only help the Democratic Party and will help to energize the base even more.
