Funny you should say that, I was thinking the same thing. In the Lib Dems eyes, she represents what they stand for, but more importantly presents herself well. She is young, attractive, smart, and comports herself brilliantly (something that increasingly large swathes of her political persuasian fail to do). In the Lib Dem's eyes, the only way she'd be more of an asset is if she was black/asian.
Edit: I would say that Charlie puts a bit of undue pressure on this, because it seems that the party rides on Charlie AND her, but TBH, that's her problem to deal with. She maybe young, but we can't patronise her for it.. She'd have to work as hard, with the stress level as someone twice her age.
