GOP to play Bush's likability card

GOP to play Bush's likability card | csmonitor.com:

Christian Science Monitor says:

"Bush's strongest attributes have always been 'his ability to empathize,' agrees Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot. 'He's always exuded humility, and an ability to work with other people.'"

Who are they talking about? I've never been able to discern one iota of those characteristics in our current President. They are the LAST words I'd use to characterize him. Where does this come from?

Empathize? Humility? Work with people?
Exuded?!!!!

"The president is not just a great president - he's a good guy," said GOP chairman Ed Gillespie at a Monitor breakfast. The convention will not only showcase Bush's strength as a leader, but as a loving father, dedicated husband, and "someone who likes baseball," Mr. Gillespie says

They're serious!
It's all social/biological. Fame and fortune. Loyalty. In-crowd/Out-crowd. Yea team, rah, rah!

And, according to polls, this appeals strongly to roughly half of the adults in the United States?
