What this suggests is that the formal campaign of competing position papers, tax plans and stump speeches may count for less than usual. The contest may ultimately turn on the nature of responsible power. We'll get conflicting portraits: of Bush as dangerously bold and too strong, of Kerry as dangerously passive and too weak. The final verdict may come down to some millions of undecideds who reach a gut judgment about whose instincts best fit the times.
My point exactly, and its pretty clear whose instincts best fit the times, as Ty inadvertantly pointed out.
