OK, let's elect him Drinking Buddy, or Golf Buddy, or Fishing Buddy, or just generall all-around Buddy.  Maybe he can get a sitcom called "Everybody Loves George."

But why do people think (and it seems that a not insignificant number of voters do) that "liking someone [whom you've never met] as a person" should decide whom you support for the presidency?

By the way, it's been a while since I was single, but isn't, "I like you as a person," one of the cliched ways of dumping someone?  As in, "Well, you're inoffensive in a general way, and reasonably pleasant to be around, but you have no sex appeal for me at all?"  I think the nation should send the same message to Dubya:  he has no presidential appeal for us at all any more.
