It was clear that she was an issues person, but a campaign needs some cheerleading, too, and a lot of times the cheerleading/charisma can be the winning icing. When prominent people get to that level of politics, they really ought to have some savvy about that part or at least get their money's worth in hiring people to coach.

This is the same kind of nonsense people spewed when attacking Michelle Obama before the President's first election.

It's your opinion, but it's not a fact.
