The media doesn't report much on his plans,
Yeah they are too busy covering every single one of his campaign stops.
Umm, no.
The media has tended to cover Bush 4 times as much as Kerry.
Could this possibly be because Bush is the President and he is acctually making policy?
Not only that, but lack of coverage may acctually be helping Kerry.
The media and the Republicans don't want this to be a discussion of the issues. Amoung people who said issues are the most important, Gore won 55-40.

Have you ever heard of a "wonk"?
It is true that those people who are
one issue voters usually side with the Democrats. Most people who will say that "issues are most important" have one issue in particular in mind. Some people think that strong leadership is important. It is not that these people don;t care about issues, as you are attempting to assert, they just aren't one issue types. They usually want a leader who can get it done on a host of issues, not just abortion, welfare, etc. In this election, those people seem to favor Bush. That is just a reality.
