Very effective, indeed - assuming, of course, that politics is about
"character,"  personal appeal, moral integrity, celebrity status and
similar hogwash - which for most people on the right and some on the
left (e.g. the Nader Booster Club) is apparently true.  

However, for those who believe that politics is about collective
interest and power struggle rather than infantile popularity contest I
may say: Kerry may be speaking on the both sides of his mouth, but at
least I like what comes from one side.  That is much better than the far
right drivel coming out Bush's mouth.  

So, borrowing from Senator Robb's campaign slogan couple of years ago -
Vote for the crook, it is important!
