Wednesday, October 13th: BUSH'S LAST STAND
Bush lost in a landslide last week, although last night was not quite so much of a calamity for him (or maybe it was, depending on your views on anger management), he still blew it. Wednesday is his last chance. He needs to turn in a strong, solid performance and gain an undisputable win in order to even have a decent fighting chance at the election next month.

Spread the word. Next Wednesday is BUSH'S LAST STAND.

9. Yes, the lecterns benefit Kerry
Bush can't walk around to get rid of the nervous anger. I have never seen him give a good formal speech. His best appearances are informal, like town halls and on the rubble after 9-11.

Hopefully the lecterns are both the same height like they were at the first debate, where Bush looked like a little boy straining to see over it and Kerry looked comfortable and in command.

4. No, it's the same format as last week's debate
Two guys at podiums, basically. Except the debate will focus on domestic policy rather than foreign policy.

5. The public still prefers * over Kerry regarding keeping our country safe
Kerry MUST point out that * was at the helm and undo *'s spin.

In terms of war, it's 50/43 in Bush's favor.

If Bush manages to get people to think 'war' instead of 'good jobs', 'healthcare' and 'pension', we're done for.

And given *'s and CHeney's recent talks which prove their deceitfulness, the world - which has been watching - may stop watching. Sheesh, one of *'s quotes last night about doing this on the offensive was no better than painting a gigantic bullseye on our country, in neon day-glo pink paint.

7. Format: Hot but Dry...that's an AZ saying...
the chimpster will fall on his face again. Tempe is all geared up. That is one huge party city. ASU kids are Democrats and they will welcome the chimpster with loud noise.

Little bushies pal Coangelo, ex-CEO of all major sports has been fired and I don't think little bush would want to hang out with a guy with no power.

11. Yep, Wednesday is his last chance to really break out.
Bush must decisively pull away from Kerry by Wednesday. If he can't put himself on a higher plane than his opponent, then he risks losing
the election because late undecideds always break for the challenger.

Kerry has already proven himself a credible alternative to Bush, and now people -- some people are saying that Bush's aggressive posture in last night's debate was off-putting. He needs to stop relying on spinmeisters to insulate him from the public. One week he's angry, then he's defensive.

Bush needs to stop sending mixed signals to the electorate and he must get in the drivers' seat. Anything less than a clear-cut victory over Kerry in Debate #3 will be bad, bad news for Bush.
