Look at it this way. You could be the brightest person in the room, but if you can't command the attention of the room to listen to you, does it matter? If he can't command the attention of the electorate, how is he going to command as president? That's your gut instinct.

Just look at teachers, who is the best teacher, one who can get the student's attention, or one who may be smarter, but drones on and on.

The president will have many hats and one of them is COMMANDING respect from foreign leaders. Bush has been an embarrassment, the next president has to over come all the negativity and I don't think that Kucinich has that. He looks and talks like some one who could easily be bullied. And it has nothing to do with body image, he just doesn't exude confidence. Alan Ladd, (for those who don't know who he is, was a big Hollywood star in the 50's), was only about 5'5", and yet you never got the impression he was that slight of a man. That's your gut instinct.
