23. Bush will crush Kerry in the debates
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but the media and the RNC will set the bar so f-ing low for Bush that when he doesn't come out drooling and shrieking "Redrum, Redrum" it will look like a huge victory for Bush.

Don't forget, in 2000, Gore was known as a great debater after destroying Kemp & Perot on previous occasions. While Gore may have won on the facts & on knowledge, him rolling his eyes and looking condescending cost him dearly because of the Corporate Massmedia spin.

This is how I see it: Bush will rehearse most of the answers ahead of time and spit out pleasant sounding, feel-good patriotic platitudes full of lies. Kerry will give long, fact-based answers and will be accused of being a distant, aloof, elitist, out-of-touch intellectual.
