Gore is signaling he's going to avoid attacking his rival during the debate. Instead, campaign spokesman Chris Lehane says the Democratic candidate will remain positive and focus on his own proposals and the future. Gore campaign chairman William Daley told CNN about debate suggestions from his so-called "real people" advisers. "Someone said he should smile more in the practice session," Daley said. "On the walk on the beach with a number of (advisers) they had specific ideas on issues they thought their counterparts in communities would respond to." The Bush campaign has been acknowledging Gore's skills as a debater, but analysts say they do so to encourage people to focus on issues and not styles in the debate. Analysts say Bush needs to avoid the grammatical foul-ups that have plagued him during the campaign, and needs to appear presidential. The format Public Broadcasting System news anchor Jim Lehrer has been chosen by the candidates to moderate tonight's debate, which both campaigns have agreed with be a traditional lecturn-style arrangement. There will be no opening statements. Lehrer will ask each candidate a question and give him two minutes to answer. The other candidate will then have one minute to rebut. Under the agreed-upon rules, the moderator may extend discussion of any subject or move to a new question. Each candidate will have two minutes for a closing statement, and there will be no commercial breaks during the entire 90-minute event.
