11. Especially if Gallup is stacking the audience with Bush Supporters!
Look at Gallup's track record, folks.

EVERY DIRTY TRICK is going to be used tonight!

3. I Don't Think Of His Campaign Stops...
as being a town hall style format so much as a tent revival format.

13. I think of it more like "papering the house"
Or William Randolph Hearst building an opera house for his mistress.

4. I'm afraid he's gonna be HUGE tonight...
This is what he likes, a lot of good ol' home people asking him softball questions.

Chances are he'll perform *very* well. Kerry better work hard to keep up. We need another WIN!

6. he could spend half the "debate" in the fetal position
soiling his depends, sucking his thumb

and it will be spun as "connecting with the Murkan people."

16. I think he is, actually.
But Kerry's performance doesn't want pumping up, after last week, now does it? Gotta keep the interest up -- ad revenue, you know. If people think it's just going to be another paddling, they won't tune in, they'll go out and get drunk at the bowling alley instead. Gotta keep people glued to their TV sets.

8. We don't need four more years of this abject hack
Let's see him act like a real President for once, in an audience that hasn't signed loyalty oaths or been prescreened by his campaign.

Of course, the fact that Gibson (?) will be pre-filtering the questions raises a problem. Will he have the sheer balls to risk offending The Great One with hard questions, or will he just save them for Kerry?

That, I think, is a legitimate, unfiltered question.

9. Bush has NEVER EVER lost a debate
Edited on Fri Oct-08-04 11:09 AM by zulchzulu
Bush knows the issues more than anyone. I mean...anyone! No one even comes close to our genius in the Oval Office. He loves talking about the issues and loves to let people know that this is America. America for Americans! Not Liberals!

Never has there been a more clear winner to this debate.

Oh wait...that's copy from before the last debate. Sorry.

12. Bush will still sound stupid no matter what he says.
Bush is a 3rd rate violinist, and Kerry plays for the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Bush can't be something he is not. I look for the Chimperor to sound unconvincingly dumb throughout.

Kerry is articulate. Bush is not. Case closed.

15. Oh dear God, not broccoli questions!
Edited on Fri Oct-08-04 01:32 PM by fugop
This article is pathetic. Those questions in that story are supposed to be TOUGH? If actual tough questions are asked tonight, Bush is doomed. If, however, the questions tonight are similar to the ones in that story, America is doomed. Seriously. I think my head might explode if people are allowed to preface questions with crap like, "I pray for you, Mr. President, because you're so Christlike." (Not a real question in the story, but my own homage to the obsequious questions at Bush's town halls.) I mean ... oh dear God.

18. Yeah, If he manages to say anything remotely coherent
Then they will call him the winner.
He was incoherent last week and still the repukes gloated over him
