-- Campaign tries to emulate Bush's macho persona --
The chiselling, polishing and buffing of John Kerry's image has been under way for almost two months, but yesterday the millionaire windsurfer formally morphed into the baseball-loving, goose-hunting, "guy's guy."
A meticulous late-campaign overhaul appeared complete.
First, there was the Massachusetts senator, feet up on the coffee table, munching popcorn and holding a beer as he watched his beloved Boston Red Sox pull a miracle on the diamond, beating the despised New York Yankees for the American League pennant after falling three games behind.
Then, there was Kerry in full camouflage gear, 12-gauge shotgun slung over his shoulder, trying to bag some goose during an early morning hunting expedition in swing state Ohio.
Then there was a quick zig-zag back to the sensitive guy, comforting Dana Reeve, the widow of actor and activist Christopher Reeve, just in case women did a double-take over the sports-obsessed, gun-toting candidate.
Kerry adviser Mike McCurry said yesterday it was merely a bid to show the human being behind the guy spouting policy.
The campaign of U.S. President George W. Bush, which has meticulously crafted the image of its own candidate as the denim-wearing, scrub-clearing tough guy who can stand up to the terrorists, mocked the new Kerry yesterday.
The image battle is crucial in a campaign in its last 11 days that appears too close to call and yesterday featured the first national poll showing the Democratic challenger with a narrow lead over the incumbent Republican.
"My personal opinion is that his new camo jacket is an October disguise, an effort he's making to hide the fact that he votes against gun owner rights at every turn," Vice-President Cheney said during an Ohio campaign stop.

Kerry needs to scratch his balls in public to complete his image. And maybe spit. And maybe change the oil in an SUV to quote another freeper.
Just how stupid do the Dems think that we are? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Kerry is faking being a man.
So is Terry Kerry.. sure looks like a man.. I'd bet homos see Terry as sexy...
Ah, yes. The limp wrists, girly fists, over-long fingernails, precious coiffure, "giddy" and "lazy" demeanor, the cowardice, the treachery, the mendacity, ...
A guy's guy.
John Kerry is almost as manly as Richard Simmonds. :P
Complete only in the sense that he appears to be a complete moron. Do people north of the border really believe anybody in the US with more capacity than a borderline dull-normal would fall for this preposterous fakery? Jeez Louise, if Canadians really think this "makeover" is "complete" it's no wonder they continue to drive their country into the ground.
A Man's Man. If you're Richard Simmons.

But, with them fingernails...I dunno about scratching that that area.
ROFL!
