Yes. The gravitas factor is very important. It's not really quantifiable, but it's just a sense you get when looking over the candidates. This cycle, Bush and Kasich are the only ones who really seem to have it. Perry possibly has the potential to earn back his gravitas, but he hasn't had that aura since the summer of 2011. Christie is another case of a politician losing his aura of credibility. I know it seems shallow, but the winner is necessarily going to "feel" like a president. Do Rand Paul or Scott Walker really feel like presidents of the United States? Nah.
