However, look at the Bush family, look at Clinton, Reagan, etc. None of these guys were geeks they all partied pretty hard but were charismatic guys. Charisma and personability trumps socially inept intelligence everytime.
Bush had family money to fall back on. Clinton was a Rhodes scholar - that's not easy. I don't know anything about Reagan other than Reaganomics and we won't talk about that.
