He'll get mauled by Bush in the pressing palms and kissing babies

arena.


So what. Anyone who bases votes on a handshake is an idiot anyway.

Unfortunately, it's the "swing" voters that vote this way. They make up
less than 7% of the electorate, and there's no common theme that appeals

to
them. They vote for the guy they like best, many times basing their

vote on
nothing more than charisma.



Of course. How do you think a guy like Clinton could actually win....

Clinton is a prime example of someone who is long on charisma, and short
on character.

Once again, your dependence on kindergarten-level news is obvious.


Oh? Where am I wrong then?


After BOTH Clinton's and Bush's successful elections, NPR sent a reporter
wandering around a couple of college campuses, asking students why they
voted the way they did. Regarding both candidates, many young women said
they voted for the winner because "he was cute", or they liked the way his
eyebrows wrinkled when making an important point in a speech.


Thank you for making my point for me.


NOYB was making a generic statement.


Which I applied to a specific individual, as a testiment to the validity
of the point.
