Abstract
For years academicians have stressed the importance of campaign issues while the American people have blithely gone their own way, voting on the basis of image. Now it is found that the people may have been right all along—issues appear to be transitory, confusing and largely irrelevant while images provide intelligent and discriminating indices upon which informed votes can be based.Keywords
