Agreed. Well said!
Watching his campaign is shamefully painful-for the dems,that is. The debates will be his swan song. He's suffered quite a battering from the Swifties and others (not the least of which is his chameleon-like stand on every issue)and the final,fatal right cross will be deftly delivered by GW himself-and I will be sitting on the sofa with popcorn & drink in hand,enjoying the whole thing! :)
From your lips to Bush's ears! Bush has to be careful. I very much liked Peggy Noonan's open advice to the Bush campaign on Sean's show today.
Do not overtrain for the debate. Come in straight from a boisterous, uplifting rally to the debate. And third, do not be rocked off your heels by the most audacious, bold-faced lies you have heard in your life.
Apparently flat-out lies have won some debates for Kerry because he so shocks with his audacity that it is like a STUN GUN for his opponent. Bush has to respond swiftly with something like "Name your source for that." Since it will be a stunning lie, there is no way to research it in advance.
Maybe a joke would be in order, like "Are you SURE you put that one through the fact-checkers, Senator?" with Bush's twinkly smile.
