Yes but he is a rare one. There a couple of takes on that. As a nation we rarely go for competence over vision. A candidate can be a great administrator etc. but if they do not light people up as a leader with a vision of where they want to take the country people will not vote for them. Romney was always going to have trouble with the Morman thing. It is not something people can identify with. Can you imagine what it would be like for him now if he was the prospective nominee with this thing in Texas. The second point is that oddly enough Americans do not like guys who have made a lot of money running for office. You can come from money that does not seem to be an issue but if you made it yourself in business it tends to irk people.
