We need a charismatic figure on our side running. Both Clinton and Biden are competent public servants, but they have no sizzle. Bill Clinton and Obama had sizzle. Reagan had sizzle. Kennedy had it in spades. Same with Eisenhower in a somewhat different way.

I would prefer that this individual actually know what they were doing, but that would be secondary it seems.
