Adlai Stevenson was well-spoken to the point he was labeled 'egghead'. Probably apocryphal but the legend goes that after a speech a supporter said every intelligent person would vote for him. Stevenson said that was well and good but he needed a majority. He ran against Eisenhower in '52 and '56, losing by a landslide each time. People lapped up Eisenhower's avuncular style and much of the country looked at him and Mamie as grandparents. I don't know if Biden had it in him to be articulate but a successful politician may not want to present as very erudite.
