3rd debate

[CARLHAYDEN]

First debate- Definite Kerry win.
Second- Definite Cheney win, impact slight because it's Veeps.
Third- Slight Bush win.
Fourth- predict a slight Bush win.

Your analysis of the debates so far seems exactly correct, and your prognosication of the final debates is probably correct.

The big issue is what George Bush shows up for the final debate?

The embarrasment of the first debate, or the normal George Bush?

BTW, Kerry is overdue for another stupid action.  Perhaps he'll make it at the final debate.

[CARLHAYDEN]

Your football analogy is probably pretty correct.

However, team Kerry (even though they won't admit it) realizes they are trailing and with time running out realizes if they don't score on this possession, its probably all over.

Desperation tends to cause mistakes.

[CARLHAYDEN]

If you look back over more than a decade, you will see that Bush's performance in the first debate this year was the worst (by far) of any in that period.

One of the problems liberals have is that they constantly denigrate Bush, and then get suprised when he defeats them.
