However, This is not a "normal election year" because it is "the first election since September 11 2001… conducted against the background of a war" which curiously disposes of discussion of policy in favor of "the characters of the candidates" (Baker).
As White House ally Grover Norquist aptly put it: if you say "Kerry will say anything to get elected, marry anybody to get elected, he's the overambitious kid you hated in high school and was class president, that has an effect" (Anne Kornblut, Boston Globe, 13 Mar 2004).
