96. Charisma is a factor, but not the only factor.

There is no doubt that some of the most hateful and destructive leaders this world has ever seen were extraordinarily charismatic.

Also, I believe that many people are being more thoughtful this time around after having been through the last 7 years of a president they didn't bother to really know.

I think most would agree that Obama has more charisma. And clearly many are strongly supporting him for that reason. But for lots and lots of other people, that is just not enough.
