I've heard more than a few commentators label Palin as "the most charismatic person in the Republican Party" over the last couple of days.  What are they basing this on?  Does she draw big crowds?  I don't get it.

Yes she is and yes she does, whether you like it or not.

Mittens and all the other candidates exude the drama of watching paint dry.

She's arguably the best public speaker among prominent Republicans, but that alone doesn't make her charismatic. She does have an ability to lead and inspire, but only for a portion of the Republican base.

I don't think she's a good public speaker, at all.  As for inspiration and leadership, I guess that's too intangible for me to have noticed.
