“The president knows who he is, knows what he wants to do,” Mehlman told CBS, “and there’s a huge difference between the president and Sen. Kerry on these important domestic issues.”

How many jobs have been lost and created, who is covered and who is left uninsured by medical plans, and who will pay more in taxes and who will pay less are key areas of contention between the two campaigns. With viewers expected to number in the tens of millions, the confrontation will draw the last huge audience they can expect before Election Day. The 90-minute debate will be Webcast live on MSNBC.com at 9 p.m. ET. It can also be seen on NBC and MSNBC TV.

Although the debate is limited to economic and domestic policy, there may be questions that allow Bush to discuss foreign policy, the war in Iraq and the war against terrorism — all issues the Bush campaign thinks bodes well for him.

For Bush, the debate is a chance to revive in public opinion polls as the clock ticks down to Nov. 2. His job-approval rating slumped to 47 percent in a USA Today-CNN-Gallup poll published Tuesday, just one percentage point above the lowest point in his presidency, reached in May.

1. That's funny so do I

I know who he REALLY is and what he REALLY wants to do....have for quite some time now. Thanks DU and Buzzflash.

3. You stole my words! He knows what he wants to do, and so do we!!!

It's the same as staying the course...only it's the wrong one!

2. How pathetic

These guys really are deluded. They're still going on about how Bush can bring it back to foreign policy, which benefits him, in spite of the fact that two debates later and he has yet to capitalize on this alleged strong suit.

4. Yes - he is incarnate evil and wants to rule the world

5. I know who he is and what he wants to do

He's a blithering, blustering, bloviating Connecticut cowboy who wants to turn the world into his playground. Hence, I will not be voting for him.

6. good for him!

And those differences are going to figure prominently when the historians try to explain how and why he lost so big on November 2, 2004.
