Something else I think we'll see - the media will now believe that one major reason Kerry "won" the debate is because they manage to rattle George Bush with tough questions and threw him off his game. IOW, they'll be doing a lot of patting one another on the back, along with the Kerry campaign people. Since the second debate is the "town hall" format, look for the press to pack the audience with LOTS of hard core leftists who will ask questions like, "Mr. President, why do you hate children so much that you have no problem making them starve so you can give tax cuts to your friends at Halliburton?"

The audience will probably include a bunch of Code Pinko types as well, who will be constantly interrupting Bush's answers with screaming and sign waving, all in an attempt to once again throw him on the defensive, as well as to get themselves ejected on national TV so the media can attack the administration for it's "disregard of the First Amendment rights of people with legitimate dissenting points of view."

Just like Kerry can't help being a pompous, arrogant, condescending stiff, the Rats can't help WAY overdoing their idiotic staged protests.

Cokie Roberts on This Weak w/Georgie said the townhall debate is not yet certain to happen because a disagreement on this very issue. Pubbies are wary the audience will be stacked against and will likely prevent it.
