I have to admit, when I first heard about this race three months ago, I didn’t think Halter had what it took to win. I hate to say “I told you so”, but…

This guy is challenging Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln in the primaries. Again, as is so often the case, neither has much in the way of charisma. (Halter reminds me of Bobby Jindal.) It’s important to bring these examples up to remind us of why charisma on an Obama or Palin level is such a powerful force.
