Voters will tolerate a great deal, but when it comes to the presidency, being an *sshole isn't tolerable... at least for the vast silent majority.
I think this Bush hatred is going to keep a lot of left leaning voters home in November.
They hate bush so much but the though of Kerry is so sickening they may sit it out.
Then how do you explain Clinton being re-elected? Then again, Clinton had more the image of a "good old boy" immature oaf, while Kerry seems more like an arrogant elitist. I can even picture Clinton helping a little old lady cross the street (it would be a good photo op), while Kerry would shove her out of his way (probably thinking, "Get out of my way, lady -- can't you see I'm late for my photo op?"). I hope Kerry's elitist "me first" attitude will show through often between now and November.
