Is Kerry trying to psych W out?

[brooklynite]

There've been stories for days about how much effort Kerry's putting into his debate prep (real auditoriums with audiences and TV cameras). I'm wondering if the Kerry people have been putting this out to spook the Republicans and have them overprep their guy (no faces, spout more statistics, etc).

Should be fun tonight...

1. My take..............

Bush will come out at his most "Presidentialness", head held high, a no-nonsense look at his face. You know that "determined" and "resolute" look that has all the "safety Moms" cotton getting wet.

He'll throw out a lot of facts, most of them lies or at best half truths, and maintain a condescending attitude that billows with a "my shit doesn't stink" air.

About 30 minutes into the debate Bush will start to get a little testy. He has a very short attention span and gets bored easily. Staying focused will become increasingly difficult for him and by the one hour mark he'll closely resemble the George Bush of last week.

By the end of the debate he'll have calmed down again somewhat, but the damage will already be done and his political career will be in tatters.

After January, he'll retire to the Pig Farm in Texas, become more and more depressed and ultimately commit suicide by unsuccessfully hanging himself from a creosote bush but slipping in cow shit and breaking his neck on the trailer hitch on his pick up truck.

There may be minor variations to this scenario. He may, for instance, not last 30 minutes into the debate to become his old spoiled brat petulant self. The rest should go pretty much as I've stated.

2. I sure hope so

and this scenario makes sense. * isn't used to having questions for 90 minutes and so he his true personality may show up.
