Did you pick up on the body language of the candidates & their families

[The Backlash Cometh]

after the debate? They both looked subdued at first. I watched Bush's family approach him. The Bush girls definitely looked like they felt bad for their father, because I think they knew he was whipped. Laura had her characteristic porcelain doll painted smile. The girls only smiled broadly after they turned around and faced the audience.

I couldn't tell Teresa's reaction because her back was turned to the camera. The only time I knew that Kerry felt good about his performance was when he went down to the audience and shook hands. His smile broad and victorious.

Did anybody else pick up signals?

1. The twins couldn't get off stage fast enough.

And George was right after them. Going to get the leash, I guess.

2. I thought Laura looked demoralized when she trudged up

on stage, like a deer in the headlights -- she knew that Kerry mopped the floor with Bu$htard.

3. There is one AP picture...

Of the girls. Jenna is looking around, trying to play to the audience, as if that would have an effect. Barbara is sitting there, legs and arms crossed, looking down, as if she is counting the seconds till she will be out of there and into a 55 gallon drum of Alabama Slammers.

Not a picture of two kids watching Daddy kicking the interloper's ass. Indeed.

5. Barb looks like she's nodding out

Who knows what McCain is thinking. He looks like a dirty old man on a bus bench.

10. I thought maybe she was purging diner

11. Speaking of which

WHY is McCain sitting with these people who ripped him, his wife and child apart in 2000 has he no integrity at all. He knows what they did to him was bull shit and there he sits with them - it is sickening and McCain is a disgrace.

12. McCain is a Republican at heart. But it's interesting that he

and Giuliani are having no impact at all in turning the spin around to favor Bush.

4. I got the body language of the audience when they went nuts after

chimpy left the stage. Thunderous applause and cheering for Kerry!
