I remember the "have a beer with him," too. But that wasn't why people voted for Bush instead of Gore. Conservatices voted for the conaervative candidate. Moderates split their vote because both sides the same. Progressives didn't vote, or voted for Nader, because they didn't have a candidate.
Surely some moderates voted for the guy they wanted to hang out, but that's not why Gore lost.
