Which Candidate Is Controlling The Terms of Debate?
After several painful, painful episodes of Kerry being forced to explain himself on stupid BS, it seems like Seabiscuit has finally got Bush totally off message over the missing weapons and now Halliburton (more relevant than Mary Cheney?).

What do you think the value of Kerry controlling the final discourse will have on election night?

(note: hopefully the final discourse)

1. It's worth a couple of points.

2. Clearly Kerry is the leader- Bush is now trying to run as a Dem.
He's for gay civil unions, he has that lifelong Democrat Zell Miller with him, not to mention Ed Koch, he is sending out mailers to Democratic Jewish households (like mine) featuring Democrats who "don't agree with Bush on many issues but he makes me feel safe"-:wtf: and appealing to "discerning Democrats".

He wants to be a Democrat, but forget it, we won't take him!!! I REJECT him.

4. Bush Is Comparing Himself To Kennedy...
I think that tells you something about the state of the race.

3. It's the difference between winning and losing.
I don't know what that translates to in points, but I think it amounts to everything.

They always said Kerry was a good closer.
