All of the Debate formats have benefited Bush/Cheney...
and they haven't won a single debate yet.

Think about it:

Debate #1- Watched by the most people, foreign policy- supposed to be Bush's strong point. Backfired like a biotch and Kerry won.

Debate #2- Sit-down format that neutralized Edwards' body language and lawyer skills. Cheney beat Edwards with his experience stick, but Edwards still won.

Debate #3- Town Hall format, which Bush is better at. Number of ethnicities represented: 1.1 Number of Charlie Gibsons- 1. Result: Statistical tie, or slight Kerry victory.

The magic Fascists haven't won a single debate yet. Is this Rove's brilliant plan at work?

1. Well, when a functionally illiterate President
Has to defend a four year record of failures, mistakes, and bad decisions, it's bound to be difficult.

3. Kerry's people let them have it that way so they'd show up

The big Kerry trick is this: Bush's only possible argument is to display the turds (called: his record) and pretend that they're chocolate. After about ten minutes everybody catches on to the stench and figures it out, and -voila- Debate Tied or Won.
