President Bush will win these debates hands down...IF, he is studied by his Team well.
The KEY to winning these debates will be to USE KERRY's FLIP FLOPS against him, with a little humor.
When JFnK goes into a diatribe about WRONG WAR WRONG TIME, the President will simply say, "I thank my opponent for finally picking a stance on the WOT...but what will his position be tomorrow...?"
When JFnK says we have not assembled a coalition of the willing but instead a coalition of the bribed...President Bush should simply say, "Senator Kerry, please stop insulting our allies, the UK, Italy, Poland, Japan..."
There are plenty of JFnK quotes to pull up and remind people of what Kerry said then and now and then and now...

More humor: GWB should adopt the Millionaire TV show and ask Kerry, Is that your final answer? Do you want to poll the audience? Phone a friend? etc
When the inevitable September 11th questions come along, Bush should answer with "like Xmas 1968, it was seared into my memory..."
careful... lets not help out the wooden one too much... keep him guessing
Actually, Dubya has already nailed Kerry on this. As soon as Kerry made the statement the first time, The President asked something like this: Maybe Senator Kerry can tell us whether Great Britain was co-erced or was bribed?
