Gee, it looks so much more convincing on Bush than Kerry. Being a real man, that is.
Being a real man means not having to TRY to look like a real man!
The jacket?

They BOTH seem like blatant photo-ops to me. Kerry goes hunting and (allegedly) kills a goose to court the gun owners vote, but has someone else carry the dead goose so he doesn't offend liberals with animal rights issues. Meanwhile, the Bush marketing board probably had a focus group to decide which brand of chainsaw was most presidential.
I understand candidates want to appeal to common people, but I don't think these guys are common people. A genuine appeal of this nature would be great, because that would mean we had a real person representing real Americans. If we're going to have elections between members of the ruling class, I'd prefer they were honest about it. The feigned attempts to curry favor with average voters seems dishonest to me.
Not to mention the well-worn barn coat.
