Kerry is rubbing people the wrong way. There's something about him that repels them. People like Bush even when they don't agree with him on everything. Likeability trumps policy every time.
That's very true. I live in Boston, ugh, and I've had to look at his mug and endure his "Do you know who I am?" attitude for 20 years. Thank God for Howie Carr, a local conservative radio host and writer for the Boston Herald. He rips sKerry apart daily. He's been dogging him for years. O'Reilly had him on his show during the DNC to discuss sKerry.
