Over the next few days we'll see how it goes. People got to compare and contrast the qualities and resume the two candidates bring to the job.

Bush needs to not exhaust himself the days of the next debates. He also needs to stop reacting so damn emotionally whenever Kerry says his usual Michael Moore inspired talking points.
