How else can you explain why at high proportion of Americans still support Bush when he is patently a fool, doesn't seem to know what he's doing, is beholden to big business and SIGs, can't string a sentence together or even make a State of the Union or National Convention address without stumbing over his words... the list goes on and on.
I think charisma is important. Bush has it. Kerry does not.
Who knows? Maybe Kerry will win. But as an interested outsider, who has been monitoring the election (not that closely, but more closely than most of my mates), I still don't really know diddly shit about Kerry.
What does he stand for? At least with Bush, you know what you're getting. [SHUDDER]

If the undecided Americans vote for Bush because of his so called "charisma", than it is extremely sad what the country has come too. It is hard enough for me to understand that over half the country favors this moron. The only reason I could see why Bush is getting so many votes is that most of his followers (dare I say) are racist hillbillies. Man, I wish Gore would run again, I guarantee you, although not charismatic at all, he would win this time around.
