Charisma
Okay, nitty-gritty again. Who are the most charismatic presidents? Not the good-looking, but who were made into good-looking fellows because of their charisma? So, the not-based-on-looks-alone. You don't have to agree with what they believed in, just that they were attrative people based on who they were.
I'm throwing out some names...by no means my final answers!
-Theodore Roosevelt (this is a final answer for me. One of my all time favorite people to read about!). LIke him or not, the man's got charisma!
-Thomas Jefferson
-Dwight Eisenhower
-Abraham Lincoln
-Ulysses S. Grant
-Harry Truman

Ok, so the usual charming suspects have been listed,but what about Chester Arthur? I mean seriously, his presidency was oozing the stuff Hollywood only dreams of. I mean WOW! The man had a very successful term even in the wake of Garfield's assasination. And,he was even suffering from kidney disease during his presidency ! He really must have charmed the pants off everyone to make the entire country overlook the jaundice-y, yellow tinge in his skin, nails and eyes from his failing kidney. Totally charismatic!
True, but let's not forget his checkered past! He was dubiously connected to organized crime/political machines in New York, a la Boss Tweed. How much do his potential past affiliations affect his charismatic appeal...?
