One of my professors had an interesting comment: Somewhat unfortunately slanted article, I'm afraid. It makes it sound like conservatives are broken. In fact, one could just as easily have constructed the task so that the extra deliberation made by liberals caused them to perform worse (by changing how errors and time are used in the final score). I think the argument has got to be that there are multiple strategies for dealing with uncertainty in the world and the correct one depends on the world as much as anything else. I believe that we are in a world that favors Kerry's style of decision making over Bush's. But, that's a claim about the world, not a value judgment about Kerry, per se.
