You know, this stuff about Bush appealing to middle America is totally dead on.
A buddy of mine, a 60-something construction guy, a smart, hard-working, self-made businessman, told me he likes Bush because "He's like me". Well, shit, George W Bush couldn't possibly be LESS like him. But somehow what he says and how he says it communicates to people a sort of understanding. He speaks to their fears and concerns and hopes, or something.
