Marc Racicot did terribly. I am truly worried after today's interview.
Racicot completely blew the "jobs" question, blew the manufacturing numbers, failed to mention the job growth in more important sectors of the economy and missed the opportunity to diss the 911 "commission". I am disappointed to say that he just had a general mannerism that said "I'm unprepared" and "I think this is a waste of time".
This is campaign season! Who ever represents President Bush has to appear competent, well prepared and pleased with the progress of the administration. Every chance that the campaign gets to be on TV should be embraced and used to Bush's advantage. The campaign needs to express our President's love for America and his belief in the future of our nation.
Racicot should have been less focused on answering the questions and more focused on how well the campaign is going. Instead he came off as incompetent, which just adds to all the DemoRat charges of "incompetence".
One more thing, "these outrageous charges from the other side aren't worthy of a response" is never, never a good answer. It's rude, arrogant and pompous. He should appear more willing to reach out to the general public by saying something like "The American Public is smart. They know the truth. They know President Bush is making decisions that affect the entire country..." This tactic compliments the viewer (which is a win) and dismisses the charges, tactfully (which is another win).
Politics 101: If you want the moderate and conservative democrat vote, don't ridicule them.
Is Racicot really on our President's side? Truthfully, I'm beginning to wonder.

Am I lost here? Every other post I've read on here says that Raciot did a stand up job actually a great job answering the questions. And you said he did terribly?
Now granted I'm not able right now to watch any of the shows but I've found that everyone's take from this thread is a pretty accurate judge of how the shows go. So 99.9% say Raciot did great and you poo poo it?
No offense Tax but....you're not related to Moby are you?
