American voters understand the difference between style and substance. The latest Gallup Poll of 615 registered voters who watched the presidential debate contains some startling results: On debate performance Kerry wins 53 percent to 37 percent. However, as to who would better handle the situation in Iraq, Bush wins 54 to 43. Who do these voters trust more to handle the responsibilities of commander-in-chief? Bush 54, Kerry 44. Who’s more believable? Bush 50, Kerry 45. More likable? Bush 48, Kerry 41. And the grand whopper -- Who is tough enough for the job? Bush 54, Kerry 37.
Let's hope they continue to remember the difference and maintain their trust in the true leader and right pick come November - George W. Bush.
"It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions." --Thomas Jefferson
