He is a nice guy.  And charismatic.  Perhaps JFK wouldn't have seemed
so to you, either, on a chance meeting.

From my Digital Webster under "charisma" (-:

2a: a personal magic of leadership arousing special popular loyalty or
  enthusiasm for a public figure (as a political leader or military
  commander)
 b: a special magnetic charm or appeal (the charisma of a popular actor)

I think he qualifies as having personal magic of leadership arousing
special popular loyalty and enthusiasm....

Anyway, methinks you ought to post your article when you're done with
it (rules permitting), now that you've gotten us all so involved in
the process.  After all, this newsgroup doesn't differ from Cosmo in
any significant sense, other than that no one has thought to post our
horoscopes weekly yet :-)
