IMHO - Thrusday Night's Debate will decide the NH vote

Many undecided people in NH in a close race.

If they stick to issues it should be interesting to see who "appears" as the leader.

If they stick to issues and not attack Kerry as a front runner... this could set a new tone.

The wild card is Joe L. ...

Its going to be a busy (and very cold) weekend in NH.

WBZ-TV (http://www.wbz4.com/) in Boston was, this morning, reporting a poll of theirs which they had Kerry (27%) was pulling away a little. Nothing on their web site yet.

There will still be too many people on stage. If this were a Kerry-Edwards-Clark-Dean debate, that would be different. But it will unfortunately be instead a soundbite show.

I'll be too drunk to watch another spectacle of the media playing Gotcha.

I had enough of these debates, and so will you after your candidate ends up being the media target.

We will never get the message across to the American people for as long as the media is an agent for entertainment driven by profits, than acting like news organizations in the public service.

Helping the press define you is never a good idea.

This will be really good for Wes Clark. I will imagine Kerry will confronting by saying that he is a life long Democrat, but you know that's the problem, Life-Long Democrats have let Bush get away with what he has over the past four years.

That's the message that needs to come front and center....who where the sitting Senators, who have let Bush get away with much more than just the War in Iraq....

The Partriot Act
The Tax Cuts for the Rich

The assignment of John Ashcroft as Attorney General....

Standing around and letting the guy have full reign of the government when he wasn't even really elected, and allowing the GOP to get off of that message, i.e. Bush really wasn't elected in 2000....Those are BIG sins for sitting Democrats.

important: economy and jobs....healthcare and medicare


I hope they focus on these and rip bush.
