Remember the lights on Bush and Kerry's podiums? Why do we change things every 4 years? This conversational style is too rambling.

1. yeah, they thought it would be a problem for Kerry
because he would go on too much. i have to wonder now if they had the lights just because they didn't think Kerry would be able to follow it. but for Kerry's debate preparation the thing he focused on most was giving answers that were within the time limit .

2. I have a hunch that McCain is having some hearing difficulty.
That means that the conversational style where they're suppose to be looking at each other, is a concession to McCain.
