Biden was right

Big factor in Obama winning the election

Yup. It's all about "looks" and the ability to "articulate." Voting records be damned!!

Charisma carries a lot of weight with voters. Always has.
Obama had charisma and excited the voters to come out in huge numbers

What Charisma? He was well-spoken in contrast to Sharpton, Waters and other black Democrat politicians, but charisma?!

Yes he was. If Obama was an ethnic black he never would have been elected. Look at Jesse Jackson
Obama was a charismatic speaker who inspired the public. Along the lines of a JFK, Reagan or Bill Clinton

Obama has neither the intellect nor the charisma of any previous president going back to Carter.

Obviously the voters felt differently

If he didn't win on charisma.......he beat the best available Republican on talent and qualifications?

The sage Mr. Biden forgot to include Barry, like Hillary, doesn't speak in Negro dialect unless he wants to. Know wha um sayin?

If blacks didn't vote for O in overwhelming numbers.It had nothing to do with charisma.

Compared to either Mitt (the Republican's John Kerry) or McCain, Obama has a boatload of charisma.

And sadly to say charisma has a great deal to do with who get elected- compare:
Obama: Romney
Obama- McCain
Bush- Kerry
Bush- Gore
Clinton- Dole (Dole displayed more charisma after the campaign than during it)
Clinton- Bush Sr.

Think about that going into the next election- Hilary is not particularly charismatic- will the Republicans find someone even less charismatic to oppose her?

Very likely.

All of America voted for Obama in overwhelming numbers

Presidential elections tend to go to the candidate who is considered "cooler" and more likeable
Hillary is a good example, while she is not very likeable, do republicans have anyone more likeable?

Not a hard call. I can't think of any Republican who is not more charismatic or likable than that shriveled up...

Well let's look at who we have...
Ted Cruz? Joe McCarthy reincarnate?
Marco Rubio? known drinking problem
Rand Paul? It's Howdy Doody time
Bobby Jindal? Alfred E Newman

Chris Christie is pretty charismatic- but Republicans hate him because he took a helicopter ride with Obama.
