| I didn't watch the debates in 2000, but now I'm curious. |
|
Did Bush turn in as dismal a series of performances against Gore as he has against Kerry?

| 3. I rewatched the debates on C-span a few weeks back |

Bush in 2000 was not trying to "act tough & resolute" as he has post 9-11. He was awkward, yes, but said "no nation building" and his simple-mindedness wasn't as threatening. He didn't sneer.

| 4. Bush was much more optimistic |
|
and certainly, that first debate performance...nothing like that.
Did you notice the corners of Bush's mouth are now turned down...like Cheney's?

| 5. No, it was the opposite. |
|
Bush was OK, Gore looked like a sneering asshole.
Disclaimer: I believe Gore won the debates on an intellectual level. But the voters don't really care about that kind of thing.
