I think Bush is raving because he knows the internal polls say he's toast.

Bush has been a political strategist for over 3 decades. He's no president or policy maker. He's a political manipulator who worked closely with Atwater and Rove, not Scowcroft, Clarke or O'Neill or any serious policy maker.

He would know the internal polls are saying he's a loser and he is ramping up his screaming and shouting in lieu of honest policy debate because he KNOWS he is losing the race so he is LOSING HIS MIND.

1. I dont' know about "toast" but it's certainly too close for comfort

Meanwhile, I'm personally biting my nails over Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and any state with Diebold.

4. Good point!
His performances in these first 2 debates certainly don't look like a guy who's up in the polls (especially not the first debate).

7. Nah, in his case the bread would be akin to what the Brits...
used to serve their common sailors in the 18th and 19th centuries. I'll pass.

Kerry is winning this, Rove and Bush know it, and they're getting desperate.

10. I know in my bones that Kerry is winning. I am taking off on November 1
and 2nd. I really think we may be able to take Missouri. The Rove crew are cornered and cornered rats who are facing indictments and goodness knows what else have nothing to lose. I am prepared for anything, I will keep my eye on the goal. I do think someone is going to have to watch these folks after they lose. I read that Bush goes berserk if he is not in control. Anything that Kerry can do to tip him into feeling out of control will trigger his temper.
