It appeared to me, also, that Kerry seemed to not give any thought to complicated questions. Could he have some advance notice from these creeps?
Good observation. Sure was creepy -- also unhappily for Kerry -- it messed up his "synch" with the watchers, the viewers. The listeners were still parsing the questuion and likely got a few steps behind in trying to follow Kerry's response. It made the Kerry part of the debate far more borr--rr-ii--innn-ggg. Kerry was unwatchable. Bush -- now he was interesting. Even when he stumbled. Likeable. A real person. Sympathetic.
I swear Kerry got those questions beforehand. I Just have this gut feeling. I said it last night and I say it this morning.
"It appeared to me, also, that Kerry seemed to not give any thought to complicated questions. Could he have some advance notice from these creeps?"
My thoughts exactly. If Lehrer is going to be taken down like Rather was, thats the way it will happen, ie, with a stunning headline like LEHRER COACHED KERRY BEFORE DEBATE or something like that. If that could be found out. I got the definate feeling that Bush was like the "Visiting Team" at a verbal football game playing against the "Home Team" right from the beginning when Lehrer made sure to always say Kerry's name first when refering to the 2 candidates.
Something Fishy is going on...
Yes, that's true almost all questions were very hard on Bush some even "loaded", but just only 1 on Kerry:
"Did our troops die for mistake in Iraq?"
He needed to ask him more questions like this.
