President Elvis?

One thing in this election campaign I'm getting tired of is the barrage of complaints about John Kerry's charisma, or, more appropriately, lack of it. The liberal columnist Molly Ivins, for one, has complained that the Democrats need a candidate with Elvis-like appeal to have a major advantage over George W. Bush, and she laments that Kerry "just isn't Elvis."

Don't get me wrong. I love Molly Ivins, and I agree with virtually everything I've read in her column. But someone should remind her (and everyone else) that we are electing a President, not inducting someone into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! :-O
