Hi,
I am curious where you came up with the above notion.
Bush may not have come off as educated as Kerry but if anything I think the statement above is actually reverse of what the reality of the situation may be.
Kerry spoke in a really defined educated manner and everyone even the less educated portion of America picked up on that. Leaving the impression that "oh Kerry spoke co clear and didn't stammer" leaving many to think that he clearly won the debate and is more adept to being a solid presidential candidate.
It is my experience that the less-educated usually root for the clear sounding winner.
With Bush his victory was not as clear you really had to understand where he was coming from and what he was doing.
He was speaking to the American people as an American. He came off modest and genuine where as Kerry came off as the hawk trying to obliviate his prey.
Bush was able to come off humble while addressing the people because he always deals with the world in a strong manner when leading.
over all my take on the debate is still neutral. I think they are both puppets in the long run.
Interesting..
