You're wrong about GW not being 'real people'. Of course photo ops are part of the landscape. That's a given. Just look at why elitists loathe GW. It's because he won't nuance, compromise his principles and our safety. He means what he says and then does it. Liberals can't stand that. Way back when, GW went to Andover, an elitist Eastern prep school, where, by the way, he was said to be very unhappy and homesick for Texas. That's where his 'center' was and remains. Add to that recovery from alcoholism and the dedication to honesty and self examination that demands, and you can see why people trust him.
A few weeks ago, Mark Steyn wrote a great column comparing Kerry and his lifestyle to GW and his...and what the trappings showed. He finished with a statement about Kerry's living in six mansions while GW's home was a simple ranch in Crawford, Texas, where nobody would choose to live if they didn't love it. That says it all.
