'Bush Has Tempe Tantrum, Kerry Wins Debate ' (my headline)
That is what I expect to see as a headline on a lot of newspapers on Thursday morning.
This is the BIG one! The economy is Kerry's strength and *'s weakness. I can't imagine anything * can say (truthfully) that would make anyone believe he has done a good job. The best he can do is make more promises for the next four years...Forget it.

First president since Hoover (during a depression) to lose jobs.
Stock Market down +/- 1,000 points.
Divided, not united this country.
Largest deficit (from a surplus) in our history. He has not vetoed ONE spending bill, not one.
1.3 million more Americans in poverty.
Health care/Medicare...millioms over first-projected costs.
Cuts in VA programs. VA hospitals can barely keep up with the rising costs to provide care for our wounded soldiers.

I could go on, but we all know how totally inept this man has been. Kerry can blow him away tomorrow night, and I know he will.

2. I agree and Bush may even cry
The pressure is getting to him. He has never been questioned about his performance. He is the Royal President.

I think he will say all he has to say in the first 5 minutes. The rest of his performance will be pitiful.

4. That is what I think
Remember some pundits, after the first debate, said he had '37 minutes of prepared speech for a 90-minute debate'? I think it will be even worse this time.

6. Today, his total meltdown tomorrow is my only hope
I've come to the belief that he just needs to show up to have the media pronounce him the winner.

7. Right WIng will spin it as "Bush has Passion"
Bush shows up to debate in a pink tutu riding a tricycle: "Bush arrives in Tempe with BOLD NEW TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVE"
