Sounds good to me, why people want to start a thread so early is beyond me.

So you can get started on the snacks and the first round of beers, that's why!
Sort of like the Superbowl!

I predict that, due to his "pre-debate manicure" as reported by Carl Cameron, Kerry will have the shinier, prettier girly-hands of the two.

Kerry will wear a purple suit with white stripes and matching purple shoes with a pink tie. this will go well with his new manicure and orange tan.

Liberal nightmare:
Andy Card steps out of the wings and hands a note to Bush.
Bush reads it silently, turns to the moderator and says, "I'm sorry, I have to leave at this time. We now have Osama bin laden in custody".

I have some advice for Senator Kerry--Senator, if you're checking out the FR board in your debate prep, be sure to do the following--you might raise a few eyebrows but the American People Need To Know The Truth, and this will energize your base.
1) Loudly denounce President Bush as a "moron," "chimp," "deserter," and "Hitler." Your supporters will cheer.
2) Explain that with your French heritage and language skills, you can do a much better job at taking advice from Chirac and the French on how to run American foreign policy; and how it is arrogant for the American government to unilaterally determine American foreign policy,
3) Denounce the Bush Secret Draft Plan, (btw, this would not be a good time to bring up your own mandatory national service plan for high school graduates)
4) You've already pledged to pull the plug on Halliburton logistical support contracts. Now reach out to the critical women and minority votes by pledging to replace Halliburton with woman and minority owned firms. You could cite the Nation of Islam which already owns security companies.
5) You’ve already explained that having Saddam in power was better than the problems we now face in Iraq. And you’ve already pledged to get us out in 6 months, or 4 years, or whatever. Tonight take the bold and next logical move of pledging to bring back Saddam! Pledge to sign a People’s Peace Treaty, with a date certain for US withdrawal, and the Baathist gunmen will be on our side, they’ll “carry our bags.” America will be sure to understand that this will make it “respected in the world.”
I’m sure others have some good advice for Senator Kerry.

I just walked in the room and heard them mention this, in mid-sentence. Was there anything else they said prior? Or just about the orange tan?

What color of polish did Kerry's dog handlers select? Orange to match his face, or maybe clear coat?
