re: People that are comfortable and confident in themselves and hold true to their values, speak from their heart and have no need to carefully word their ideas or thoughts. You can't teach this. You either have it or you don't. The most charismatic people in history have some basic things in common. They are supremely confident in themselves, believe in what they are saying and don't mince words. They have no need to memorize and regurgitate speeches filled with stats, facts and quotes.
Oh, you mean like Sarah Palin?
Oh, you mean like Sarah Palin? Yes, when she is unscripted. I might get crucified for this. Palin was hamstrung during the dampaign with McCain. I think they were trying to keep her on a leash and at times, it was not her best.
She is awsome when she isn't having to fake an agenda or add words and phrases to promote another cause.
