Now see my post above. The Republican spin doctors would jump on me and

another. Disregard everything he says."

That's a pretty good example.

I watched Kerry try to explain his take on the Iraqi war, and I think he's
in deep trouble. He takes a considered, subtle approach. Too many
Americans - probably too many people in general, but Americans are the ones
voting in this election - are completely oblivious to both consideration
and subtlety. This is why we often have problems with juries, in fact.

Bush, on the other hand, "takes a stand". People admire that. Never mind
that what this really means is that he draws a conclusion early, and then
sticks with it regardless of the evidence that comes his way.

Again: see problems with juries.
