"Bring it on" vs. "Don't go there"
I think that's going to shape Kerry vs. Bush.

On all the issues, Kerry will enthusiastically welcome a debate, he will expound at length, he will be available to the voters and the press.

Bush, on the other hand, will hide, only speak before hand picked audiences, his answers will be muddled and confusing and dishonest, and his surrogates will denounce anyone who questions the war president. Expect a lot of indignant "How dare they?"

It's going to be ugly.

1. oh, i sincerely disagree...
it won't be ugly...

it is going to be FUN.

and I, for one, am going to laugh everytime i hear that idiot asshole give one of his muddled and confusing answers. Sooner or later he will have to give unscripted access to the press-corps, and someone like Helen Thomas is going to leave him blubbering and incoherent.

I CAN'T WAIT.

7. I almost wrote fun
I didn't want to be overconfident, I think the media will find a way to help Bush, so I changed it to ugly.

But I agree, I can't wait for this thing to get started.

3. Nope. The bar is so low on Bush that if he says two words right,
they will say he won the debate.

4. I don't know...
this time last year I would've agreed with you but I think the press is being a little more hard on Bush. Although I do think they're still very much biased towards him.

6. "Nuk-ular" vs. "Suiciders."
Or maybe "spacial entrepreneurs."
