Will Bush and Kerry be sitting or standing in the debate tonight?

[wicket]

I tried looking and couldn't find anything. But then again, I haven't had my coffee yet so maybe I'm just missing it ;)

1. both

they have stools to sit on when the other is answering the question.

[wicket]

4. Thanks!

:)

2. I'm pretty sure all the debates are the same rules

[secular_warrior]

3. I believe they will be sitting on stools and will stand up when

answering the question, like the town hall debates in '92.

7. Hoo boy, Bush is in trouble then

This sort of format is torture for him.

[bushisanidiot]

5. October Surprise: AWOL falls off his stool, is knocked out, is in coma

until after the election. The world will come together to pray for him. He wins the election in his sleep.

6. I read

they will have swivel chairs that can lock and can sit or stand and walk but only in their designated area.

[Junkdrawer]

17. Yep. A stool requires FAR more coordination than Bunnypants possesses

I wouldn't be surprised if his chair is bolted to the floor...

[JuniorPlankton]

8. He IS in a coma

well, at least he is already brain dead.

[CrispyQ]

9. Or . . .

They replace him with a "Dave" like scenario & the 'new bush' has a brain & mind of his own & is actually a truly good guy, not a neo-con. He will work to balance the budget, end the strife in Iraq, keep jobs in Amercica etc. Rove will self-destruct like Frank Langella did. Only difference, he will divorce Laura.

I can dream, can't I?

16. Eerie!

I had a dream last nite that he fell of his stool and when Kerry tried to help him up, * really got pissed. Prediction, * loses the election TONITE!

10. If Kerry Is Sitting On A Stool Does That Mean He Is Sitting On Bush?

[Demonaut]

11. bush will be swinging from monkeybars and kerry will be on a seesaw

...don't most townhalls have a playground nearby?

[Dees]

12. The little Texas Bu$h Monkey will be sitting in Kerry's lap

when it's all said and done crying his eyes out.

[GregW]

13. I wonder if the 'audience' has to keep quiet?

I can just imagine a hand-picked bunch of stooges like any of W^rong's campaign 'speeches' or Leno for that matter "Whoopin' and a hollerin'" at every word that comes from his fetid, Rethuglican mouth.

[durablend]

14. * will be squatting

Once Kerry hands * his ass again.

Look for Rove to rush * out of the room if it looks like another beating is ensuing.

[wicket]

23. Oh man, can you imagine??

I'd love to see Bush yell out "NO FAIR" and run out of the room, BWAHAHAHAHAHA! :D

[sonicx]

15. do they get to hold microphones?

I had a problem with 2000's townhall because of lack of microphone...

[shoelace414]

18. I actually saw

on my local news a "report" from there where they were talking to the sound guy and he was saying Bush wants a wireless mike, and Kerry wants a mike clipped to his tie. and it was unknown what was going to be done.

[CityHall]

19. Jesus H. Christ!

18 responses to whether they sit or stand? No wonder I haven't gotten any real work done since last Thursday.

[doni_georgia]

20. This debate is a joke

Audience members had to submit their questions to Charlie Gibson. He selected the ones he wants. If the audience member deviates from their submitted question, the mike will be turned off. Guarantee it that * will have been given the questions in advance - just like on the stump. The candidates are not allowed to ask each other questions. This is not a debate.

[savistocate]

21. Gibson=Fox=Bush sycophant

follower. Who can doubt Gibson has NOT relayed Rove what to be prepped on--very least. These RWers have demonstrated have no use for, respect for ethics..principles,

[JI7]

22. only one of them can be standing at all times

one of the things they tried to do to get around Kerry's height advantage in the town hall debate was that when one of the candidates was responding to a question the other had to stay seated.
