This will be the LAST debate!
See this site:

www.debatedodger.blogspot.com

From the site:

George W. Bush is NOT going to attend the last debate. What's more, avoiding the debate on domestic issues was the Bush campaign's plan from the start.

1. Well, good.
Give the 90 minutes to Mr. Kerry and a room full of his fans.

6. I agree.
I also think there should be a podium with a screen suspended from the ceiling over it. They could use a bunch of clips from Bush's speeches, play them and let Kerry counter Bush's claims. Bush could even do a 'rebuttal', and then Kerry could do his. They could try to make it as even-handed as possible by playing some of Bush's better moments, as hard as those would be to dig up. That'll show the goddamn SOB. If he refuses to answer to the American people for his disasterous policies, let's drag him out and make him via video.

3. That's an opinion, not a sourced fact.

8. If Kerry wins decisively tonight bush has to attend.
What other choice would he have? His only opportunity to regain lost status would be through the debate.

9. If Kerry kills him tonight, he might be better off
taking his chances on the blowback and skipping the final debate. Peronally, I think he'd be better off doing that now.

11. I'm surprised he agreed
to more than one debate. Arnie didn't and that's what won him the election.

13. You Assume Bush Will Do Well Enough To Go Out With A Bang
As opposed to shuffling away like a wet rat after Kerry just dumped a big old can of liquid whoop ass on his head.
