that he doesn't let them get to him. the more they bash him and the less he reacts to them the more angry they get. because it shows just who is REALLY irrelevant.

remember the debates and how easily Bush reacted to anything Kerry did or said. but Kerry didn't do the same. he was in control and knew what he was doing.

i remember the primary debates and Kerry was very similar in those also. there were many candidates so you can't tell as easily since they didn't get much time. but just watching the parts with Kerry , he was the same way he was in the debates with Bush and i would say the same with Weld .
