In NZ the press coverage that we get of the presidential candidacy , as well as the comments made so far lead me to suspect that personality is more important than policy.

Words like audacity" , "elitist" or "too intellectual appear far more often than any information about policies.

I have never really understood what a president is good for besides photo opportunities.
True. Everyone who wathced the debate on T.V. thought Kennedy won but everyone who heard it on the radio thought Nixon won.
