But this one looks like the debate where Gore tried to get in Bush's face- it's going to stick no matter what the media spin is.
Several answers brought Bush's emotions to the surface, for better or worse, as he sought to curb Kerry's momentum
WHAT Kerry momentum? Boy, I am really shocked on how nakedly partisan the AP is.
Funny how the AP sued to force the Pentagon to release all the Bush Guard Documents but has yet to do even ONE story on the missing 31 pages of Kerry records. I wonder why that is?
Fournier doesn't have an unbiased bone in his body. Don't read his garbage.
I'll give that last week Bush did make faces but this week I didn't see any. Kerry was the one who squirmed and was trying to be in Bush's face and space. Bush was controlled and fantastic!!
As Bush said tonight -- you can run but you can't hide. And that goes double for Ron and his stupid AP drivel!!!!!!!!
Bush "seemed wound a bit too tight. He was a little like Nixon - sort of jumping out of his suit," said David Niven, political science professor at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. "He looked bad on the TV close-ups."
From http://www.texnews.com/abilene2000/elec/lead1119.html
Political scientist David Niven of Florida Atlantic University, a Democrat who ran unsuccessfully this year for a state House seat, said Gore backers should be worried.
This is the most outrageous, but expected and archetypal, AP headliner and content. It misrepresents, even fraudulently in relation to the report about a Bush comment which was clearly intended to poke fun at the reporting of his facial displays during the first debate, and all of it total bull shit, it almost makes me think I am living in the Soviet Union, the AP nothing but a front for the Democratic Party, which is without question the Enemy of Democracy, and the AP is nothing but a political organization which would assist in our enslavement. And I mean every damn word I just said. I spit on them, they want to put us in the concentration camps, because with this level of counterfeit, purposeful propaganda, they have an end, to them their end justifies the means, and their end doesn’t bode well for liberty.
There was a time when an AP under the byline of an article was a sign that you would get the story straightforward and unbiased, Mr. Fournier's latest piece Bush Fights to Keep Emotions in Check has destroyed that idea.
Mr. Fournier has made a name for himself as an anti-Bush writer, which is fine as an op-ed piece, but not as a reporter. A reporter used to report the news, cold hard facts, maybe a little opinion, but objective; Mr. Fournier's piece was blatantly biased, with a strong anti-Bush edge to it, especially in the lead paragraph.
It's a pity that the venerable Associated Press, the AP, has become the Absolutely Partisan.

Stop hedging. There is no reason for you to hold back ;)
Anyway, we won the debate. Tracking polls over the next two days will reflect this.
Our President kicked Kerry's sorry behind. Did anyone notice Bush slipping his hand into his jacket a few times(as if to adjust tie or such)? He has a sharp sense of humor and I think perhaps he was mocking Kerry (from last debate). This goes with the "that almost made me scowl" comment.
I'm trying hard to control my emotions and not ...oh, may be I should calm down, spend some time in Tibet, get in touch with my inner child...
...you didn't think I was going to fly off the handle and advocate violence against a biased reporter with the brains of flee, did you? That's the old JPF, I have my emotions under control. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a yoga lesson.
You did see the thread about the ABC memo and Mark Halprein, right?
Someone PLEASE explain this part of the story to me:
BUSH "SEEMED WOUND A BIT TOO TIGHT. He was a little like Nixon - sort of jumping out of his suit," said David Niven, political science professor at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. "He looked bad on the TV close-ups."
"Kerry was way too wordy and Bush was folksy, feisty," said Charles Franklin, political science professor at the University of Wisconsin. "BUSH LOOKED COMFORTABLE, and produced a plausible story line."
I THINK THE WRITER INTENTIONALLY CHANGED "KERRY" TO "BUSH" IN THE FIRST LINE.
Jennifer, would you get over kindergarten and join the real world? There are actaully enemies out there that will not be swayed by a cookie and glass of milk. Two men, well ok, one man and one senator are arguing the important points of how to deal with these murderers. So straighten up your backbone and quit your pathetic whining. Either that or get up and grab a cookie in the kitchen and STAY THERE!
No Bush is suppose to sit back and let Kerry lie about him time after time.She should be worried about her children's safety if Kerry the traitor gets elected!
RON WHORE-NIER?
He has directly transcribed DNC talking points. UFB!
Screw the MSM, the pundits, et. al.!
These weasels don't actually DO anything, they just report and pass judgement on what other do.
Don't believe the instant polls, either. The vote for Popeye is so out of proportion to be statistically insignificant.
W knocked it out of the park. Period. Full stop.
