You do see that that an ability to draw a crowd doesn't logically preclude a person from being "presidential material', don't you?

Well, no, but then neither does the ability to fart the "Star Spangled Banner" or juggle chainsaws, come to that.

The point, and I did have one, is that this kind of thing is pretty much all we've been presented with on Obama's qualifications to be president. In case you haven't been following my posts on specific issues, his policy creds are smoking quite a bit at the edges.

Remember policies?

Frankly, I don't see a lot of improvement in switching from "Beer Buddy" to "Rockstar." We're still leaving the front end of the brain out of the picture.

But hey, if you want to pick our leaders based on emotion and fervency, fine. But I should point out that this has had somewhat mixed results in the past.
