Having just watched (brief) video of all four, I'd say the Democratic candidates are both more charismatic than their opponents, with Warnock leading, and I'd say Loeffler is the least charismatic of the lot. The best speaker, by some margin, seems to be Ossoff. Even as politicians go, he's very on-message, concise, and clear. Obviously, it helps with charisma if you don't peddle division, as both Perdue and Loeffler did in the speeches I watched bits of. I don't know how the 'radical socialist' angle works in the US, but it does seem very odd against candidates standing with Joe Biden. Warnock comes across as a little out of his element and hesitant in more scripted speeches or in the debate against Loeffler. He seems to be much better in stump appearances, where I guess he can use his pulpit experience more.
Obviously, it's all subjective how they come across to you.

Apparently the Purdue/Ossoff was 0.01% difference when they stopped counting, but most of the outstanding votes were from highly Dem areas. Not seen that confirmed though.
tbh, I was really sure the Reps would take at last one of these, probably Loeffler (mainly through painting Warnock as 'communist' i.e. Black), and it's really pleasing to watch them fuck it up through the sort of infighting the Dems seemingly had a monopoly on.
