I grant Kerry this...he is a solid debater
He will expose chimp more easily that Gore ever could. He can think off the top of his head if he has to. The one thing about Clark i don't like is his debating skills. He obviously is more qualified than chimp but i don't know if he could adequately present that during the discourse of a debate. He is not as tactful as he should be and that could draw attention to itself if he were to make some silly mistake. We all know how the media is.
Kerry seems even keeled and rock solid.

1. I loved Al Gore, but he was too nice.
Kerry defeated the RNC's junkyard dog, Weld, handily in his last election. They threw everything at him, too.

5. Bill Weld Was Not the RNC's Junkyard Dog

It was a tough battle, I am not saying that -- but Clinton nominated Weld for ambassador to Mexico -- but the republicans wouldn't confirm him -- so Weld is no rapid attack dog for the RNC.

6. Guys, there are no real debates when you think about it.
GWB would not survive a single real debate with any of the Dem candidates...

This a very thoughtful post. I think all of the candidates would wipe the floor with Chimpy.

8. I heard on Rush's show
Kerry's unfavorable history regarding Vietnam veterans - anyone know what's going on with that? Because Kerry has been my 2nd choice after Clark.

12. A Vietnam Vet called in to say
that he and all his Vietnam vets were going to vote against Kerry for a reason I didn't quite fully catch but it had to do with something about supporting them. I was driving at the time and couldn't pay as close attention because I had to pay attention to the road.
