uhh you didnt listen. you need someone that has all those things u said above (voting record, experience, platform, charismatic, stature, presence) BIll clinton, like his politics or not, was a leader that could get respect world wide. He spoke well, knew how to deal with people. george bush doesnt speak well, doesn;t give you taht felling of strength. Ronald regan had the politics and the abilities that clinton had (probably because of his acting experience) that made him successful.
