Politics as Dungeons and Dragons

Obsidian Wings: +4 Charisma: "I say: what none of these horse-race analyses take into consideration is Sarah Palin's superpower. She has charisma, the genuine article (not available in stores, much less online). In our household, we call it 'charisma buckets' -- where the person is so charismatic that it overflows, so they have to carry figurative buckets everywhere to hold the excess. If US electoral politics were a role-playing game (and are you going to argue that it's not?), her Charisma would be +4: a perfect 18 out of 18."
