It will be interesting to see him and Bush debate. I honestly don't think Bush has any advantage at all as a debater. He has that tendency to get tangled up and step on his tongue.

Bush had no problem with Gore and Richardson. He seems to do fine when he is nose to nose. Kerry has credibility problems with his flip-flops that Bush can score on. It will be interesting. I am surprised Bush agreed to three. I thought he would only do two.

CB, Kerry talks about stuff, and says things that contradict what he has said before. That leaves people wondering just what he really means, and what he will really do.

Bush, on the other hand, says what he will do, goes ahead and does it, and stands by his decisions. Most people would be inclined to believe a man like Bush, than a flip-flopper like Kerry.

Don't sell Bush's debating ability short. Many thought that Gore would hand him his head in the debates because of the tendency for Bush to make grammatical error, but it didn't happen, and Kerry has a shakier image, and platform, than Gore did.

If I recorded everything public thing you said ever day for 5 years, I could make you, a silver tongued lawyer sound like a tongue tied bungler.

He has that tendency to get tangled up and step on his tongue.

If he's rested and prepared, he'll do just fine.
