hmm....i still think the debates should have a physical fitness component. 4 rounds should suffice. JFK KO'd in the first.
In thinking about what traps the Dems are laying out for President Bush during the debates, it occurred to me that the one thing that would infuriate President Bush and perhaps cause him to lose control, is a reference to Laura Bush and the accident which caused the death of her friend.
Do I believe the Dems are that low? Yes. Of course, they may have one or two sane workers left in the Kerry campaign who might successfully argue against it.
To a question as to how his wife would enhance the position of first lady, Kerry might respond that Mrs. Heinz-Kerry can speak to foreign visitors in their own languages, and so on. Then, with an attempt at humor he might suggest that since she has a chauffeur, there is little chance of Mrs. Heinz-Kerry causing a fatal accident.
A Dem loyalist in DC suggested this scenario to friends of mine, as showing how determined Kerry is to show he is tough. My friends were appalled, which to the Dem was proof that "it'll work; it'll work." They were in a DC bar, a Dem hangout.
Faithincowboys, Max 7, if you read the article "Hunter, Dreamer, Realist...Complexity Infuses Senator's Ambition" by Washington Post writer Laura Blumenfield, you might come to the same conclusion that I did. That in their determination to kill Howard Dean's primary candidacy so that "electable" Kerry would be the Dem nominee, the media whores insured that the Dems would again nominate someone that even the least discerning voter might consider a head case.
