These kiss-and-tell smooching statistics, based on a poll of 500 18- to 24-year-old men and women, might not be as irrelevant as you think. Good baby-kissing skills are nearly a requirement for any elected official. And remember the criticism Al Gore received at the 2000 Democratic Convention, when he and wife Tipper locked lips so long that some Americans wanted to scream, "Get a room!"

Who’s the Bigger Blabbermouth?

Ladies, if you had a secret, which candidate would you want as a confidant? A Lifetime Television poll shows that 40 percent of young women (ages 18 to 34) put their faith in gentleman George, and that number jumps to 78 percent among Republican gals.

Kerry earned the trust of three in 10 women — including 62 percent of Democratic dames — according to the poll of 2,042 people, conducted by CARAVAN Opinion Research Corp.

What Do Women Really Want?

Don't ask either candidate for insights into the opposite sex. The same Lifetime poll reveals that only 16 percent of women say Bush understands female voters, and even fewer — 12 percent — say Kerry has a clue.

Who’d Be a Better Neighbor?

Bush may be raked over the coals during the Democratic National Convention, but apparently more Americans would want to invite him over for a backyard barbecue.

Even though the Sacred Heart University Polling Institute found Kerry has a slight lead of 47.7 percent to 46 percent among likely voters, the same 1,007 respondents were more likely to favor Bush as a next-door neighbor (36.4 percent to 27.1 percent), a guy they'd invite for a cup of coffee (40.9 percent to 26.6 percent), or take to a baseball game (44 percent to 25 percent).
