From the article: "Likability will be most important with these late deciders, and that could swing the election," Glad said.
Just breaking... water is wet, fire burns, and the fools finger goes wabbling back to the fire...

What personality?
"...even though virtually every poll shows that a solid majority disapproves of Bush's handling of the Iraq war... "
Typically jounalistic crap. All the polls I've seen on Iraq have been between 45% and 55% but somehow this is a "solid majority" to the jerk that wrote this article.
Maybe he should try snowboarding again. Or hunting. Or falling off his $5000 European bicycle. THEN people will like him!
As a last resort Kerry could always remind people that he served in Vietnam ...
Question: Who would you most trust to walk your dog?
A) John Kerry
B) Bill Clinton
C) A hungry North Korean
Most people don't care to hang out with a pompous ass.
Support for the Swiftees is crucial right now, so they can get these ads on the air on REGULAR TV in battleground states.
FReepers are key in getting the word out about the righteousness of the SBVFT by exposing Kerry's FRAUD.
Swiftee window sticker thread - get yours! Freep mail for details.
I agree. Likeability is a first cut proxy for trust. Clinton was likeable (for a while) and got elected, even though he turned out to be a hollow sociopath unworthy of trust. Bush is likeable and real. You may not agree with him, but what you see is pretty much what you get. Kerry is a dork and a chameleon.
Who would you want at your back in a world where mass kidnappings of children occur and airplanes fly into skyscrapers?
If you were really undecided, it is (or ought to be) a no-brainer.
I couldn't bear to listen to that droning, condescending voice for four years.
What is amazing is that Kerry's people keep saying that the people just don't know Kerry as well as Bush. Personally I think the people know Kerry and what they see they don't like.
It doesn't take 7 paragraphs to say "He is an a--hole"
He was liked...before he wasn't liked.
I don't think seeing more of Kerry will make people like him more. If that were the case, Kerry should be soaring in personal likeability ratings, not sinking, like he is now.
"What is amazing is that Kerry's people keep saying that the people just don't know Kerry as well as Bush. Personally I think the people know Kerry and what they see they don't like."
I think you're bang on. By this time (Labor Day weekend), who doesn't know Kerry and what he is like or what he stands for?
Hanoi Candidate Kerry is a thin-skinned blue-blood crybaby with a low pain threshold who demands aristocratic immunity from criticism and so may not be able to withstand the heat of the political war that is going to be waged between now and November 2. God forbid that such a "sensitive" girlie-man should become President of the United States! Let's hear it for a more sensitive war on terrorism!!!
But they don't much like John Kerry.
Thereby saying to left what they want most to hear: it's not our winning politics that are at fault, it's our loser of a candidate!.
More Kool-aid, please...
