Well maybe he could've used a bit more rest. However, he had just got off from work; and hurricanes don't wait for presidential debates!
Maybe could've used more rest?! You can bet your bottom dollar he needed more rest! And this is not 20/20 hindsight--when I heard on tv that he was exhausting himself that day, I thought WTF?! And I don't mean to be cold, but this is hardball, presidential politics--the hurricane victims would have been there the day after the debates, the important thing for W. to do was to do keep his eyes on the big prize by crushing Kerry. I fear things will go downhill from here. How quickly fortunes turn.
