John Perry Barlow:

When it comes to qualifying for the American Presidency, a grating accent can be a bigger political liability than a record of homicidally misguided policies. Being inconsistent is a greater personal failing than being consistently, doggedly, disastrously wrong. Being dorky is more damning than being dictatorial.

Note that I can personally vouch for the fact that Bill Clinton never once acted lecherously toward my wife, although I did shake his hand once. That and I was on track to actually receive some Social Security money upon retirement while he was still in charge for a while, there.
