Anyone know if there's a live video feed for the debate tonight?
I really must figure out how to do multi quotes at once. Perhaps charming is a better word. Several weeks ago I posited he had charisma and somone chimed in it was more messianic.
I have met him. I witnessed dozens of intelligent people who would never vote for him fawning all over him.. The women wanted to do him the men wanted to be him. We underestimate his " charm, appeal, whatever you want to call it at our peril. A few pages back a poster reminded us all that there will be those who secretly vote for him. I think thats a real possibility

why would you let someone treat you like that? Why would you want to belong to that???? But many people do.

As for MINO's sexual attractiveness. I know, some people will need mind bleach at the thought. But look at the clips of him during the Caribana party. That was the party animal persona, completely comfortable in his own skin, totally in the moment RoFo. Add some more fame or infamy, even a dash of bad boy notoriety. I can see some women being attracted.
Yep. Because the need to belong is a powerful one.
That's a very good word for it as well.

I've known some dudes who are not Brad Pitt in the physical looks department, but they can turn the spell\charm\charisma\kavorka magic on in person like no one's business.
That's the kind of weird power Rofo has, and again IMO people underestimate that at their own peril.
You are still missing the point, Robbie's "power" is given to him by others. You go to the carney to be amazed and astonished, the barker/huckster uses that to get what they want.
Is Rob catnip for the ladies?

TORONTO - Rob Ford makes you weak at the knees. Seriously. To many of you, he is hotter than a subway car in Scarborough in July."

Waaaay better than I could say. And I said it up thread even I like him when he's dancing. When the musicians stuck the mike in his face and he sang full voice eyes closed. Its hard not to envy his( dare I say it here) guilelessness. Thats the everyman appeal even if you know what you know about him . The fords knew what they were doing by skipping dougie and waiting for rob.As for MINO's sexual attractiveness. I know, some people will need mind bleach at the thought.

So, I wonder if anyone will call out Ford on his racism given the theme of the debate. The other candidates have used kid gloves so far.

Sadly, chances are that they will be polite CanadiansI am hoping they do and that he loses his temper and totally freaks out.
