Too much Stannis love here. The dude has the charisma of a wet stinky boot. King Renly was charismatic, knew how to play the game, and more importantly, was FABULOUS. If only Ned listened to him when he had the chance. You just can't ignore Renly's charm unless you have plot-induced stupidity. He had Rainbow Knights, awesome one-liners, and was banging the hottest piece of ass in Westeros. It is hilarious and pathetic that Renly had far more support than the elder brother Stannis to begin with. Davos is pretty cool though...for an onion smuggler.
The audience/readers now know that the only reason charismatic Rainbow Stag King Renly wasn't banging chicks as well as dudes was because he knew the disgusting deadly black horrors that may be hidden in a vag.
