Kerry will get a knockdown in tomorrow's debate....

I just got a hunch. When Bush goes into his bullshit mode, Kerry will call him on it and Bush will be speechless, his eyes darting, biting the inside of his cheek, smirking and looking up at the ceiling for some divine providence, but there will be no help. He will get slapped silly if he tries his bullshit that he uses on the campaign trail. And he will lose it. It will not be a good performance for the Chimp.

"But....but..but...but....my opponent is a liberal..", he will whine. This will be the final nail in the coffin for his star-crossed campaign. He can finally start making plans to move to Texas, when this debate is over. That is my hunch. :)

If he doesn't drool or wet his pants the GOP-packed pundit panels will declare him the winner.

and the media spin afterwards!

If he has another meltdown like that! expect Kerry to get an instant 10 point lead! If he gained 5-7 points on a Friday with his performance... dang!

Those issues do not favor Bush. Its his weakest area. Unless Kerry chokes I don't see him losing.

half hour on foreign issues. Does anyone know the style of this debate? Is it another town hall?

forum with questions about different subjects. This one is supposed to be like debate #1 where only domestic issue questions will be asked.

I wanna see how many people want Kerry to go for the kill -vs- play it safe!

DOnt think I have been here long enough to start a poll! i am a newbie!

He doesn't have the intellect or charisma to pull it off. President Kerry is ten times the man, the leader, the President than Bush will ever be. Bush's "folksy charm" is a myth created by the SCLM, he can't use something that never existed.

smirking and looking up at the ceiling for some divine providence

Assmuncher needs to realize that if he's on a mission from the Lord, then his divine providence is to go back to Crawford.

I am torn between wanting Kerry to really call him out or if he should play it safe and stick to the same tactic that has won him all the other debates.

get his earpiece to pick up the signal from KKKarl

what he's done already.

Kerry has 2 or (1 and a tie according to some) under his belt. If monkey boy was going to score big it would have been in the last debate. No, I think you are right, Kerry is going to deliver the fatal blow tomorrow night live on national television....

That reminds me... I need to go get some more popcorn.

Kerry is 2 for 2. the polls on undecided voters ALL went strongly for Kerry.

My husband just returned from Russia and said he saw the first 10 minutes of the Friday debate on Russian TV (via BBC) before he had to leave for the airport. It was being televised live and it was around 5 am Russian time.

The WORLD is watching.

we will be told that it is a draw. The fix is in--the media want this race to look close so that it seems more exciting. There is little chance they will admit Kerry won again (even though we all know that he will).

They are getting their big ratings and if it's a blow out, then they won't get their big ratings the night of November 2nd. Isn't it sick how the media needs horrible things to happen because it's profitable?

it is sick and twisted. The only good thing is that we have their number and we will keep calling them on it (for all the good that does).

...and NECK AND NECK like they are saying ooooh, goody, HARDCORE PORN. No one buys advertising for a preordained asskicking. It is in their interests to paint this thing as close, just so they can make a buck on it by selling ads for all their talking head shows.

There are a lot of things Kerry has held back on. I think he has just been biding his time, waiting for the right moment. The last debate is unique. After this one, Bush won't have another debate in which to recover.

I'm hoping for a knockout, and I know Kerry can deliver it.

They may be afraid to wire him, like debate one. The pressure would be too intense from the public and the media. Everyone will be listening to his speech patterns, looking for wires and buldge etc.

NOTE: To me the whote wire issue is about getting people to pay more attention to what he says and does when speaking. Many Americans have not been awake on that one.


They may be afraid to medicate him, like debate 2. They can't depend on him to not blow up.

I love it because they will have to let GW act like GW. If he can hold it together , for 90 minutes,and still be breathing with a regular heartbeat, he will be DECLARED the winner! Tweety will be jumping for joy!

thanks to party_line for this

This sounds good, but I wonder if McCurry has located a fatal flaw with Bush -- much like Sasso's realization that Bush is living in a fantasy world of spin. "He is tremendously insecure," McCurry says. "Any time any of his aides look like they have stature, he wants to suppress that, because it's about him. When it's not about him, he gets nervous that people will understand that he's not as good as everyone thinks he is."

"Is that his fatal weakness, then?" I ask.

"Yes, and you know who understands this better than anyone? John Kerry. The other day, Kerry said, 'I need humor,' which is why he did some of the late-night and morning shows. But the insight he had was, 'I can get under this guy's skin -- if we have the right kind of humorous barb.' " McCurry pauses. "Last night, Kerry read aloud a Bush quote" -- about how the CIA was guessing about conditions in Iraq -- "and made fun of him, which made the news this morning. So I know -- because I've been there -- that Bush was sitting in his suite in the Waldorf-Astoria getting ready for his day at the United Nations General Assembly, and I'll bet you any amount of money he watched that on TV and went nuts, because Kerry was making fun of his own words. If you saw the clip of the quote, Bush looked like his dad." McCurry takes a short pause for effect. "It was devastating."

"Nope, no WMDs down there..." :)

and tell your supporters that you won?"

I still that one would cause W's head to turn boiling red.

it's cute and that his joking about it has gotten him some brownie points (haha). I'm talking about the idiot *Bush, of course.

take THAT you Smirking Chimp, you.

Bush's ass is grass--and Kerry is the lawn mower!

This sums it up succinctly.

in the last debate. I want the entire country to see what a godly man this little boy is.

:kick:

I wouldn't be surprised.

Will be following the same format as the first debate. It is an ennironment that Bush is MOST uncomfortable in, similar to press conferences, but without the control the White House has over the environment. Next, domestic agenda is the area that Kerry has more than a strong edge on in all of the polls,

In fact. I think it is more likely that Kerry will win this third debate by a larger margn than he won the first debate by.
