Hillary falls into their category. She constantly needs a nap.

Their lack of charisma is a big reason why both men lost, especially when compared to their opponents. Sadly, many people are superficial and care about things like charisma.

I could care less that Dole and McCain lack charisma. I greatly admire both men because of their incredible heroism and because of the extraordinary sacrifices both men made for this country. The voters exercised terrible judgment when they chose Clinton and Obama over Dole and McCain, respectively.

Unfortunately people today are shallow and don't look at the records, experience or skills. If they had, Obama would never been elected.

Got to be a young Rock Star today.

Yes, both great Americans but poor candidates. Wrong place, wrong time.

Women tend to vote for the more youthful, charismatic and more attractive candidate. If they wouldn't consider dating the candidate, they won't vote for him lol. It's not very objective.

That is a broad brush you are painting women with.

Yes and she is certainly not the candidate to draw men.

I agree. Hillary seems to be more and more the "not republican" candidate.

Subjectively, who actually really thinks she would be a good president?

I think McCain lost mainly because of his own blunders. Had he opposed the bank bailouts, halted the stupid rhetoric about bombing Iran, and chose someone halfway competent as VP, I think his chances would have gone up tremendously.
