Pundits like a politician to be slick. I can't tell you how many times I've watched a speech or interview that was analyzed afterwards by half a dozen political "experts", only to find myself thinking, "Huh?? That's not what I thought of it at all!"

She's no exception.

Bush is real. It's part of what we love about him, for better or for worse. When will these political professionals begin to "get it"?

To me, speaking as a male, Bush projects many endearing qualities, from his love of Christ (and he's not ashamed to admit it even to a liberal like Russert) to his occasional stumble. He's showing he's only human, unlike the Clinton worshippers who thought their man was omnipotent.
