Kerry has been prepping for 2 days, * hasn't

[AlCzervik]

* went to yet another fundraiser yesterday. Does this mean the * is very confident tonight?

[saccheradi]

1. I hope so...

his overconfidence is his greatest weakness... and that's saying a lot!

[meegbear]

2. means they got a smaller transmitter ...

no unsightly bulge.

[TexasSissy]

31. LOL LOL (sad, but probably true)

[cheezus]

3. the transmitter is fixed now, so he doesn't have to

[JuniorPlankton]

4. Kerry needs facts for the debate

* doesn't. That's the difference.

[Robert Oak]

13. kick

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

5. bush has nothing to prep for that's why

[apnu]

6. confident like he was last wednesday and thrusday?

When he didn't prepare for the town hall and he snapped?

Prepared like:
-The wood business
-The hydrogen car business
-The Dred Scott business
-The sounding like a petulant child who's lost his toy business?

[Gloria]

7. Bush apparently got irritated at staff urging him to practice more before

the 2nd debate...Seems he's always irritated about something, isn't he?

Maybe he feels he's learned how to stand behind a podium and that's all he has to do!

[michigandem2]

8. well its like the kid who aces a test

because he studied and the jock who think he can get by on his popularity....but I think Kerry will be armed with facts and LOGIC! bush doesn't know EITHER of those things

[desiindian]

9. Is Kerry going to mention Bush's rental car frivolous lawsuit during

tort reform question ?. If he is then watch how Bush will behave...

[The Chronicler]

10. Bush's strategy: "He's liberal, he's a flip flopper"

Not much strategy.

[Nag Champa]

11. Bratboy, the Mad Puppet....

Debate prep is more than just pacing back and forth reciting positions. It usually involves some degree of reading.

That's why he does not practice.

[jackstraw45]

12. My take: Bush is more behind in the internal polls than we hear

Bush is ALL about prepping for these things but his campaign is starting to PANIC.

This is no time to lighten up...we must DOUBLE our efforts for a knockout punch and get these FACIST thugs out of our government.

[zbdent]

14. Gee, if somebody paid women to have sex with me every day,

I would think that I was the world's greatest lover.

These are the paid political crowds. It's a wonder the "dress like ordinary people" memo hasn't resurfaced . . .

[merh]

15. * hasn't the sense to get in out of the rain, before the 2nd debate

he fished in the rain! Facts are not necessary - he has a transmitter and his ear piece - the question is, how long have Rove & Hughes been prepping for this debate!

[AlCzervik]

16. I just heard on CNN that * had dinner with McCain last night

i wonder what was discussed.

[merh]

22. McCain is just as kooky as the weed!

I am sure that was a very productive and relaxing meal!

[WI_DEM]

17. same way he prepped in school--old habits are hard to break

[otohara]

18. He * Takes Nothing Seriously

just for granted!

[archineas]

19. bush's confidence

indicates to me that his "internals" have him ranked rather highly and that he completely expects to win.

the problem with this logic is that noone dares mention negatives to him. i recall reading that he verbally destroyed his staff after the first debate, so who is going to have the nerve to stand up and tell him everything is not nearly as peachy as he believes it is.

this is arrogance and ego, and in my experience, the larger you blow the bubble, the bigger the mess when it blows up in your face.

[AlCzervik]

20. He yelled at his staff because he sucked?

Wow, hello bubbleboy.

[Monte Carlo]

21. Kerry's been preparing for this his whole life

Disagree with him, but don't doubt his ambitions.

He will be prepared. Bush will be fighting a defensive war, which means that Kerry has to defeat him utterly, and I believe Kerry knows that.

[endnote]

23. Because Chimpy relies on his instincts (plus God will help him)

You see? For certain people it's all innate. It's possible that Chimpy takes this crap really seriously and BELIEVES that God will inspire him at the right moment, if needed.

[Oak2004]

25. I'm not sure that he really believes God will inspire him

but I'll bet he thinks the American people are stupid sheep he can con at will.

[noonriser]

28. Unfortunately

He seems to be right with an alarming percentage of the population!

[ksoze]

24. "Kerry has been prepping for his whole life, while *....

took the job after failing at everyting else (except baseball).

PBS's Frontline made that clear last night - Kery is a product of a life of experience and intelligent thinking, the shrub is a result of powerful family and friends and dumb luck (whcih ends in two weeks).

[Free2BMe]

26. I read that actually Kerry's campaigning in the last 2 weeks has

been more industrious than bush's so taking the time to prepare was a natural result and keeps him on track to get a hat trick(3/3)

[Gabi Hayes]

27. but wait! I started a thread on what Mrs. Greenspan had to say about that

She said he's "been preparing VERY hard!"

she's been WHORING very hard for her hubby's boss; she never stops

[CityHall]

29. God's on his side

He doesn't delieve he needs any help. It's "God's will" that he win the election, just like it was God's will that Tenet be fired, and everything else. This is the biggest threat with this administration. They don't think their actions have any consequences for themselves of for the country. They think it's all preordained.

[IIgnoreNobody]

30. Kerry knows how to work hard to succeed, Bush thinks he's entitled to win

[spanone]

32. don't be fooled. I heard he was cramming hard....KKKarl is not stupid

Evil yes, stoopid no.
