Decision Making Styles to Figure into US Presidental Election

Will decision making styles figure into who the US chooses as a president? This question is taken up in a recent Wall Street Journal article:

For those without WSJ access, an exerpt:

[While they differ on issues, t]here is also a big difference in their decision-making styles. Mr. Bush often makes quick judgments. Mr. Kerry likes to immerse himself in detail, read extensively and consult a wide circle of advisers before making a decision.

Mr. Bush paints in black and white, Mr. Kerry in shades of gray. Mr. Bush establishes broad principles and sticks to them. Mr. Kerry is willing to tack with changing conditions.
