6. Exactly Right! This WON'T be a personality contest.

All these media types who carp about Kerry not being the guy you'd want to have a beer with are missing the point. When this country is in trouble, people have always voted for the person who appears PRESIDENTIAL, not warm and fuzzy. How do you think Tricky Dick got elected? Not because everybody thought he was a nice guy, but because people thought he was the toughest guy in the race.

Kerry needs to be serious and intelligent and, most of all, competent. That will win this election.

The Bushies are always talking about how the paradigm changed after 9-11. Yeah, that's what's gonna get them beat in 2004. Bush has botched his own War on Terror. Competence is the key.
