Of course I'm viewing this from the perspective of a hetero guy, but I'm guessing that even to liberal women, Clinton now looks like a flabby, red-nosed whiney lardbutt next to W. in a flight suit.
And if women do indeed vote with their ovaries in 2004, Hillary is dead meat.
No denying it, yesterday was a photo op. But the master of the photo op was Reagan, and look where it got him. Bush Elder, however, was master of the bland, and he quickly fizzled out. W. knows how to play the game, and I am glad of that. I would say that the 2004 election was won yesterday, not because of the event, but because the event demonstrated that W. can and will generate the campaign imagery that will capture the Emotional Vote.
Since he already has the Common Sense Vote, what does that leave the liberals?
Their (healthy hetero) wives love him for the same reason! :o)
