Does the candidate have likeability or charisma?

At my cousin‘s place last Tuesday, where we gather from time to time to swap stories, gossip and share health finds, we fell into a spirited discussion of whom we should vote for for President on May 9.

Most of us have already made up our minds on whom to vote for. When pressed for a reason why, most declared that they liked this or that guy, basta (that’s that); or they liked him for this or that issue that he stands for.
