First debate - Miami - Eastern Time Zone - 9:00 p.m. - Bush appears tired BECAUSE HE IS TIRED - Bush loses debate.
Second debate - St. Louis - Central Time Zone - 8:00 p.m. - Bush does much better, still somewhat shrill though, ties in debate.
Third debate - Tempe - Mountain Time Zone - 7:00 p.m. - Bush wins convincingly.
Also explains why Bush campaigned yesterday in Colorado; it had nothing to do with "a tightening race" there as the MSM tried to portray; Bush needed to be somewhere in the Mountain Time Zone to get acclimated to the earlier time so he would not be tired.
Sorry, Arizona debate was 6pm, NOT 7pm.
I had been making the point that the debate would be "earlier" for the participants for weeks.
