Bush is preferred among those who attach high import to honesty and trustworthiness (50% for Bush vs. 29% for Kerry) and strong leadership (64% Bush vs. 27% Kerry).
Kerry is preferred 70%-18% among those who place high importance on understanding complex issues, and empathy — "cares about people like me" (76% Kerry and 17% Bush).
Sums it up just about right.
Combine that with Rasmussen, who has had Bush at better than 50% approval for three months---and NO PRESIDENT HAS EVER LOST WITH THAT LEVEL OF APPROVAL---and the end is near for Francoise.

Here is to the "I Feel Your Pain" crowd. Do you think the peace loving Islamic terrorists who flew into the WTC had empathy and cared about people like you?
You people make me want to blow lunch.
Those who would vote for Kerry because of "complex issues" have their own "complexes"...As for the rest of us, COMPLEX ISSUES don't mean a da$& thing if we've been blown up by terrorists!

This presumably represents the segment of the population that WANTS to be sold a big lie. What rational person could conclude mr. billionaire Kerry, of botox and hair-do fame, could possibly care about them at all?
