Yup! Debate is over.
Percy Dovetonsils "won", sort of. No doubt he can twist words any way but Sunday. But, never would want to have my daughter stuck with a guy like him.
I am gonna vote for the guy who walks the walk, but is linguistically challenged about blowing his own horn. I prefer substance in men, not stream-of-conscious sentiment of the moment.
For those of you who like manicures, tube-tans nicely covered by make-up, and wind-surfers who marry rich widows and like to tell tall tales about how they can do it better than the one who gets stuck doing it, vote for the gigolo.
I don't think your daughter would want to be stuck with a guy like Kerry, either. And that is a point many seem to be missing here. The target audience isn't the wonks like us who know the facts and who we are voting for. It is the "Security Mom" woman vote, with whom Kerry is doing poorly and needs to reclaim.
Look, we all know Slick Willie, and let me tell you, Senator Kerry, you are no Slick Willie. I recall during the Republican Convention, all the "pundits" slammed Laura Bush' speech. And yet polls the next day showed it did greatly assist the President with the female vote. Kerry's pomposity won't go over well with them.
