I think it's simpler than that. The Democrats put Kerry up there. I voted for the guy, but not because I liked him. He is NOT inspiring. I can't speak for the swing voters, but I think if Bill Clinton's clone were able to run, Bush would have been pummled. It wasn't communication or ideology. It was personality.
