I clicked off when Hillary showed up. It might have seemed a "coup" for Fox, but her very face alienates viewers.
That's like saying the Yankees lost the first game to the Twins to lull them into a false sense of security. Had the President done two weeks ago, what he did last night, Hillary would be starting her 2008 campaign with McCauliffe as her manager.
Gee Fred is that why you last night on Fox News called the debate a "TIE"!?
Exactly! I went to bed not believing my ears! I figured if Fox didn't see that Bush had won, we were done for....What was it those guys wanted to see??? Kerry on his hands and knees begging to be let go?
Sheeesh
Will they be sitting at a table?
The Bush campaign needs to stay on the attack and better yet, they need to step up the attacks on Kerry. You know the Kerry campaign won't let up. In the final debate, the President needs to challenge Kerry more on his 20 year Senate voting record and press Kerry on his frequent flip-flopping.
I only wish Michael Peroutka could be in on these debates,or in The Weekly Standard,or on Fox News. He would have much to say. http://www.constitutionparty.com
Me too, I could not bear to be insulted by that woman's shrill meaningless comments. Yet the American people seem to warm to her. Why?
(Gee Fred is that why you last night on Fox News called the debate a "TIE"!?)
Freds usually a pretty good writer and a solid conservative but nobody gets it right 100% of the time I think I'll cut him some slack.
Only an idiot (KARL ROVE) would "coast" to victory like the attempt in 2000. It's that sort of belief that an election is 'over' that causes the infamous Gallop snafu in the earliest days of polling (stopped polling too early). And, remember, only Zogby polled up to the last second in 2000 and thereby gave us an *accurate* picture of the closeness of the final race.
He DID! Surely he voted FOR Clinton's MASSIVE tax INCREASE.
Last night on "The Beltway Boys", Fred reconsidered his earlier evaluation and decided that the debate was a Bush win. As he is usually right on analysis more than 95% of the time, I'll cut him some slack on this one.
That's what Kerry does. He doesn't let anything go unanswered. It's about eroding Kerry's credibility. A more skillful debater could do that very easily. I think these debates have boosted Kerry's credibility at Bush's expense. I think that the dynamics have shifted to Kerry's favor. I think credibility is what the race is coming down to.
Rules clearly state that you must be pulling in 15% in major polls to be included.
Peroutka isn't pulling in 0.015%
Bush very cleverly in the first debate set skerry up...down here in Texas we call it 'rope a dope.' President Bush is an outstanding POKER PLAYER. ;o)
Would it not be better to judge the candidate on his performance for the last say 20 years, rather than the last 4.5 hours, to determine whether he is the one who we want to lead us???????
But then again, that doesn't sell too much TV time then, does it? And the 'know-alls' won't get their 5 minutes of fame? Geez............
