I've explained it several times. People like to have high ideals. They very much enjoy falling short of them. They like to elevate their failures to the level of sin, and they take refuge in the promise of salvation. It's why sinners and shortfallers like W, Clinton and Reagan do well, while fellows of comparative rectitude such as Gore, 41, Dukakis, etc. fail to sustain appeal.
