Looking forward to Bush being over-handled for 2nd debate

[HFishbine]

So Bush was too informal last night. Slouched, shuffled, shrugged.

I'll bet he tries to rectify that in the second debate and ends up coming across as stiff in the more casual setting.

Another thing going for us is that Bush will be moved from his comfort zone. The "talking points" strategy didn't work last night. Bush will be forced into uncharted waters for the 2nd debate.

1. Bush showed that after 4 years of being stage managed

He's completely uncomfortable in a setting where he has to give real answers to real questions.

5. he looks mentally ill

I mean it-he makes as Imus said this morning "What me worry?"faces.I'm watching now,I listened last night-and Bush sounded whiney

9. my god, I agree w/ Imus!

last night when squatter would look directly N2 the camera when Kerry was speaking he looked Xactly like 'The Nation' cover of him as Alfred E. I mean U can take that shot of him, supperimpose it and it will B an Xact fit.

11. And this was just this side of scripted.

He's doomed in the next two.

2. People say Kerry is not at ease like Bush but Kerry is like most of the

NE men I grew up with are like. Bush is the "funny' guy at the party that drinks to much and every one tells him to go back and sell his used cars.

3. wonder if Rove will implant a microscopic ear piece in Dumbya's big ears?

4. Gore over compensated in second debate in 2000

Gore changed styles a great deal between the first and second debates in 2000 due to pundit attacks and the changes hurt him. I would love Bush to try something new and fail.

8. Right!

Two choices for Bush. Stick to last night's strategy (proven a losing proposition) or change course. How good is Bush at changing course?

[Tempest]

6. What is the subject of the second debate (assuming Bush even shows up)?

Oh how I hope it's on the economy.

7. Arent they going to take questions from repub... err undecided voters

next debate?

[AndyTiedye]

13. Gallup Will Recruit an Audience of "Undecided" Voters...

...from their new Fundie owner's local church, most likely.

10. I'm still on high alert

when it comes to Bush and everyone around him. They set out early not just to win, but decisively destroy the opposition (both the candidate and the party).

Bush does well in a crowd with one-on-ones. The town hall format will allow him to show his acting skills of 'compassion' and 'caring'. It has me nervous.

I thought Kerry did a phenomenal job last night...and that has me a little worried too. Kerry does his best and is most effective when he's on the attack. When he starts feeling confident, he starts to fade. I hope he keeps it up all the way through Nov. 2nd.

12. I'm only worried about 1 thing

that no matter what the media will say Bush won-not that I care like I said yesterday everybody here knows what must be done on Nov 2nd.So the best thing to do is to put all the talking heads/pundits on IGNORE.Make their numbers go down until they stop skewing the news to the right
