Yeah, I agree that charisma is lacking this time around. And charisma is important, because the President has to have more than good ideas -- he has to have the ability to rally others to his cause and actually achieve something. Maybe once one of these guys gets into the White House, his charisma will start to emerge. But it does seem to be lacking right now.

Donahue would make a great VP; he could be Oprah's running mate (a half-serious suggestion).
