Although I’m behinf Fred 100% I have to disagree. Kerry and I believe Gore also were taller than Bush.
And were not both Gore and Kerry considered to be smarter, more handsome, braver and wiser than Bush by all the Great Elite of Academia, the Fourth Estate and the Keepers of the Flame?
They each lost on other points, but the tallness issue is still a powerful sublimnal persuasion factor.
