I can breathe a big sigh.
I about lost it tonight.
But my word Dubya, you need some coaching!
No, he doesn't. This race is OVER as far as who is going to vote for who.
W needs to stop with the facial movements and the crap he does with his lips...stop right now....
Ever have that dream that you show up at the big debate and the whole country is watching you and you suddenly realize that you forgot to study for it because you were hugging hurricane victims all day and now you can't think of all the good stuff you were planning to say? And to top it off, they forgot to fill your water glass?
Ummm .. YOU DID LOSE IT
I actually think in a sense he might have been a little overcoached. He had a very solid and effective message, got some great zingers on Kerry, but he needed a broader script, more points, more defense against the predicatable lies.
He seemed to be more in the mode he was in last spring when Russert interviewed the President, and he hemmed and hawed while making good responses. Unfortunately, the hems and haws are remembered as much as the message.
I heard that President Bush has been down in Florida helping the hurricane victims, I think he looked tired and ticked off. A good rest and a bit more rehearsal will do wonders for him :)
