What is 'Presidential'?

Christie is presidential in that he is a corrupt asshole, but he is still likable. People feel like they know the mans flaws, they can look or listen to him and see that there is more to this man, his aura, his larger than life presence.

He is the "you know what you are going to get" candidate.

Sadly, he seems like the most likable of the republican candidates IMO. Bush is another bush, so even if he is smarter than his brother, he will still be the butt of many many jokes about intelligence.

Warren is awesome, I love her intelligence, her debate skills, her arguments.... I Agree with many of her opinions, and I believe she would continue to fight the good fight, against monied interests.

Really? Go pull the tape of the Q&A Obama had with Republicans. It was Obama vs entire Republican leadership. He owned them so badly Fox News cut away before it ended.

That's probably his least worst performance.

I've never seen him stumble and stutter more than anyone else when speaking off the cuff.

Seriously?

I really wish I could post the audio of Obama thanking himself for inviting himself to the White House to meet himself, but to give him credit, crushing that audio was the single most efficient government action I've ever witnessed. No site hosted that clip more than a couple minutes before being hit with a cease and desist.

Yeah, that's the smart path in politics, choosing the multimillionaire who will be most effective in fighting the, um, multimillionaires.

Specifically, I mostly would have been talking about the banking industry and lobbyist bribery. Im not saying she will not enrich herself, but, she seems to have a strong understanding/grasp on economics.

I think John Kerry emits a very presidential vibe. In hindsight I think he would have been a fine president.

I think virtually all politicians' positions are positioning themselves for maximum power, but I will admit I like some of the legislation she's authored. She appeals to the Populist 'Possum within the crunchy Were shell. That's highly unusual for any Democrat these days, especially after the fiasco with Gillibrand. I don't have a lot of trust left.
