Bush speaks more direct and more simple. He's hard and unmoving on some issues like abortion. Put that altogether and many will see him as a 'stronger' leader with more conviction and clearer policies. Americans sleep better at night with a guy like him at the helm. They also sleep better when they believe the propaganda they've been spoon fed about the reasons for going to war. Even those that don't believe the propaganda may be looking at the overall picture of depleted oil, a resource we will need more of in the near future and our reserves are dwindling. We have to get it from somewhere.
Kerry speaks like a lawyer, many feel he's untrustworthy. We're not clear what he plans to do with the Iraq situation other than "try" to bring in more nations to the war effort. If that's the only major change, why not stick with Bush. After all, bringing in more countries isn't likely to solve anything over there. The apperance of waffling on issues has hurt Kerry too.
Bush has the edge IMO. And no, I don't support him.
