So John Kerry Is Playing Mitt Romney In Mock Debates With The President

[WooWooWoo]

I think this will be an excellent warmup for the president. Kerry is probably the best debater on our bench. I just hope he doesn't have to wear the magic underwear to provide authenticity.

1. He's gonna have to lie a lot

to play an authentic Rmoney

[treestar]

2. Hopefully it's because he knows the kinds of things Rmoney will say

He's from the same state where Rmoney was governor and should be up on state politics.

Rmoney will not be a "good debater" - he feels he should not be questioned.

9. Yup, same state with long history knowing MittTwit and how he operates very well.

3. Since Kerry is the wealthiest man in the Senate

thanks to his wife, he has a unique perspective of Rmoney's moneyed crowd and may be able to provide some insight and nuance in handling the rebuttal strategy.

4. Given what happened in 2004

I got to think Kerry is probably putting his heart and soul into prepping Obama. Payback is a b****h. You could probably resurrect many of the old Kerry hit pieces and replay them on Romney. Lets dust off the Kerry windsurfing ad with dressage horses and etch-a-sketch anyone?

10. 04 and 12 conventions apples and oranges. 04 was so easy on W. This year they GOT IT RIGHT !

5. Kerry won ALL of the debates against GW Bush and it meant nothing in the end

11. Too weak of a campaign in other ways. Convention too easy on W. Unclear attack message. Etc.

6. So ... Obama takes on Kerry in a mock debate ...

kinda like training and sparring with Muhammad Ali in his prime in preparation for a boxing match with the neighborhood fat kid "bully" ...

7. Perfect. Only a wood-carved Romney could be better.

8. That will not be easy - Kerry is not a sociopath.
