Oooh -- that was a *good* nomination-acceptance speech. Positive and upbeat, but leaving no question that the gauntlet is cast, and staying relentlessly on-message. The man's got real skill on the stump...

Aya. I'd give him a 4.5 out of 5. Needs not to trip over his own tongue, and there was one subtle problem with the content of his acceptance which I don't feel like bringing to anyone's attention. Other than that, that was great.

He's one class act, you know? He could beat Healey on that alone.

Charisma is the primary stat required for a politician character. IQ is a secondary stat, just mildly more important than Constitution/Health. That's part of why Romney won last time and why Patrick should be able to beat Healey.

One interesting point to this, an analysis I read said that most of the big issues that the Democratic candidates were arguing about (taxes, education reform, etc.) aren't things that the Governor decides. Those are decided by the Legislature (see gay marriage being approved on Romney's watch). What that means to me, is that a very charismatic Governor who brings a lot of new voters with him might be able to enact changes that someone else might not.
