I predict that Kerry will say use a lot of words, make claims about "failed policies" at every turn, and not have anything of substance to say about his plans if he were elected President. Kerry will talk about having "four point" plans without actually saying what those plans will do or how they will work.

I also predict that President Bush will sound amazingly bright, have clear and cogent answers to questions, and will be torn apart by the media tonight and tomorrow morning for his performance.

After tonight, it will all be just a game. The dems will be working around the clock to dig up nonexistent dirt on the President, and the rest of us will be waiting for the October surprises.

Prediction: Bush will make Kerry look absolutely silly tonight but this will not matter much. Liberals are so blind in their hatred for the President that they will say and do anything to try to prevent him from winning another term.

Based on your predictions (which, btw, I think are on target), this debate will not have any affect on the polls.

"Prediction: Bush will make Kerry look absolutely silly tonight but this will not matter much. Liberals are so blind in their hatred for the President that they will say and do anything to try to prevent him from winning another term."

I think your prediction is exactly right. Here in Denver I saw an article about the "Bush will reinstate the draft" campaign being used at all the college campuses. Made me want to scream....because dh and I both know who we heard bring up that idea first, on Hannity and Colmes: Charley Rangel-D(ummy)-NY. And we are surrounded by Kerry-Edwards and Regime Change at Home signs....

And people wonder why I drink........ :P
