MILWAUKEE -- As the bus carrying the College Republicans rolled east, Alyssa Frederick made a confession about the man she was about to see in person: George W. Bush is no dreamboat.
But there's more to a man than looks, she explained. Sexy professorial swagger is out. Self-confidence and earnestness are in.
"I don't find George Bush to be attractive, actually. Is that blasphemous?" asked Frederick, a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from Green Lake. "He's so well-educated, but his speaking isn't difficult to follow. He's speaking to the masses."
That's life seen through the eyes of a College Republican in the post-Clinton years, when restoring honor and dignity to the Oval Office makes young hearts pound with pride. And before the day was over, the man from Midland, loathed by Deanie-boppers and Greenie-boppers around Madison, would get a big embrace from campus conservatives.

"All in favor of, 'Dean is a Ween, Don't Bring it to My Bush'?"
No applause.
"Dean Can't Measure Up, Four More Years"?
Mild applause.
"Dean's a Queen, Vote Bush"?
