In fact, many of us did. I have had to turn Kerry off at least a half dozen times, in horror that he is simply not connecting with the critical voting blocks who will decide this thing.

Bush has a 20% edge in a poll asking which candidate has the better personality. That's devastating, because once you assign someone as more likable, human nature starts elevating them as better in almost every category. That's the answer to these befuddled posts like, "How can Bush be leading Kerry in honesty and trustworthiness?"

Kerry needs to slice that supposed personality deficit in half, or close, to pull this out. He's excellent at debate format but those flatline speeches need to be shortened and sparked, and pronto.
