At first I thought it was one of those fake articles which wanders around the internet, gets reported by a stupid media, gets talked about on radio shows, and then goes 'poof'. (Recall the 'study' where they stated that blonde hair would be genetically extinct in 200 years that made it around the world a couple of years ago).
I'm still not convinced its not that kind of article since the article did not use scientific language in the manner you normally see it in journals, and used mostly blanket statements, something that doesn't happen in legitimate scientific literature, but it wouldn't be overly surprising if it was a legitimate study.
Still I can think of many different angles you would want to look at. Using Bush and Kerry would have issues since opinions were already formed, where as using two random people making the same statements, or having the same person read both statements would change the dynamic. It may well be more about changing any opinions, not just political. Of course saying 'people are stubborn' doesn't get a head line.
On the plus side, thats a pretty nice website, I'll be adding it to my favorites.
