I came across these two quotes about 2 separate politicians. I thought I would present them to you and you can tell me who they are talking about.

1. Many people who actually met ---- were almost dazzled. They found him personally charming, nagnetic, even incandescent. He was poised, Handsome, youthfully energentic, and he could literally light up a room. He exuded a sense of vibrant life and humor that seemed naturally to bubble up out of him. He was uncomfortable indulging for long in flights of high sounding oratory yet, in calling for change he appealed to the idealistic hopes of people. by any standard he was the most charismatic American politician of the era.



2. ----- managed to win in part because ----- was a centrist in the the party and because of supporting party politicians thoughtout the decade while lining up backing for self. ---- then surrounded self with a coterie of advertising, public relations and television experts and ran a carefully scripted campaign that stressed experience, especially in foreign policy. some observers, hoping for the best, speculated that there was a 'new ----'

5. Y'all Are Such Spoilers

But Nixon came immediately to me for #2. I was inclined to JFK for #1, but less certain, with second choice being Bill Clinton except that it sounded less recent.
