Bush needs to think of these debates as if they were a kind of dogfight, like the ones he flew in the Texas Air National Guard. Kerry is a relatively good pilot/debator, and he has a whole series of lethal heat-seeking missiles under his wings. He is out to DESTROY Bush politically, so Bush has to fly smart, avoid the incoming, and maneuver his way behind Kerry so he can take him out.
When they showed Saddam Hussein and his shotgun in the run-up for war I thought we should have a nice chivalrous battle of champions; Saddam's shotgun versus G.W.'s F-102. Now I'm thinking maybe John Kerry in his swiftboat versus the F-102. Talk about "Bring it on."
