...everywhere as members of the public, young and old, lean into the double-handed shake of the man they all call Bertie. Some pols "use security as an umbrella" to avoid contact with their electorates, says Ahern. "I'd go bonkers if I was stuck inside." Burnishing his everyman appeal is a gift for mangling sentences as thoroughly as President Bush: he famously warned against "throwing white elephants and red herrings" and "upsetting the apple tart."

Massachusetts’ residents are growing tired of primetime, camera-crazed Kerry, to the extent that if he wishes to remain in elected office, he had better start striving earnestly to appeal to his constituents. They don’t want to hear about his quixotic quest to transform America into an ecological wonderland, and they could care less if he reaps positive national media coverage as a result. They want to hear him talk clearly about issues that directly affect them...
