In response to "I was thinking earlier today that there isn’t a politician that comes to mind that I would pay money to see speak. Clinton? Obama? Trudeau? Harper? " by Beryllium

there is something to personal charisma, decades ago I faked a press pass, went to the demo conv in san fran, hear Ted Kennedy speak, he was out then,

he tried, failed, the chappaquidick disaster hung on him like a dead albatross,

but he spoke...and you could feel it, it was electrifying, it was communal, he spoke and it resonated

I have no memory of what he said

but I remember how he said it

as much as my first kiss
