Is it just me, or have others noticed that the default image of Kerry in the media is dour and serious… vs. “Bright Smile” Bush? This has been subsciously bugging me for a while, but a spread the other day in the SF Chronicle finally caused me to consciously recognize the phenomenon: on the left page was Mr. Bush, with a huge shit-eating grin on his face, bright, sunny, optimistic, and on the right page was Kerry, with a dour, intent look on his face.
Thoughts? Could this simply be a product of each campaign’s particular “spin” on the state of the union?
