Gore, believe or not, was a better candidate than Kerry. Kerry cannot reconcile the disparate opinions of the Democrats. The last several weeks will be deadly for him as the anti-Bush faction (whose numbers are legion) realize that Kerry is not going to win; they then desert him and vote their consciences with Nader.
We'll know soon enough which of us is correct.

Kerry is going to wear a 70's style avacado green polyester suit, along with a dark brown tie, this will tie in with his orange color, plus remind people that he served in Vietnam...

Kerry can express totally opposing positions from one debate to the next, and the true believers will not be swayed. Kerry could come out with a proposal to take all children away from their parents at 12 weeks to send them to proper care facilities and those with mental or physical defects will be killed and he would still get over 30% of the vote.

I will say that a good portion of Democrat voters don't care one iota what John Kerry says or does. They're going to vote for him regardless.
Agreed. They will vote for a pro-war Kerry because they will assume that he is just saying what it takes to get elected. Just like gun-owners voted for Bush in spite of his anti-AWB position in 2000.

I always cringe when Dick Morris offers his "gifted commentary" on policy or foreign affairs. But he does seem to have a specialized insight on the mechanics of polling and election-related procedures.

Except this year the rules are the candidate gets cut off by the moderator once his time expires. Kerry cannot go over his time.

No question that Kerry will break the rules and run long among other things. In that instance, all Bush has to do is ask the audience if they understood what his opponent just said.

Bingo! Toe Sucker nailed this one on the head! Perhaps this is why Bush was fine with three debates. As an aside: My law professor said yesterday class would be canceled on Oct. 13 because of the debates. I told him that he may want to wait on that because Kerry may be dropping out before then. I got a pretty good laugh out of him and the class. Nobody around here has any respect for Kerry.

12% NO OPINION. It is surprising, and a little upsetting, how willfully ignorant so many of the American people are.

sKerry alert elevated to ORANGE
To: Joe Bfstplk
Kerry alienates a portion of his base, where are they going?
They are stuck regardless just as I, an ultra conservative, am stuck with Bush even though I don't like his more liberal choices'
Ever heard of the Reagan Democrats? The old style John Kennedy Democrats who do NOT support the John Kerry style Anti-American, weak on defense, extremist leftist that currently run the Democrat party? If he alienates them, as Jimma Carter did in 1980, they can and WILL vote for Bush.

>>kerry will flounder and flip-flop as usual
I think you're right. He has to be ambiguous so he can spin and re-interpret it a day later, if need be. Besides, on nationwide hookup (as we called it in the Stone Age) he's going to have to take a center position, and few lefties will be shaken loose. Like fleas, their choice is to hop on the dog or suffer in the Bushes.
Any points he loses will be for more fundamental reasons, like how he's buttugly as a gila monster.

ORANGE IS ATTRACTIVE?????He could wear a blue tie and pose as a Gator fan. Where are these debates, anyway. If they're in Miami, he better not wear blue.

"HOwever, in "debates 2000", Al Gore kept going over the time limit, over and over again. No doubts Kerry will too, in order to allow himself an opportunity to explain his current vacillation, and then the next one."
True, but the MSM is on alert now. They know that the Pajama brigade of bloggers is going to be on the alert for favoritism by the Moderators.
Maybe it won't help maybe it will, but I believe that every organization involved in putting together questions will be reviewing them very carefully so that they don't get Rather-ized the day after the debate.
