Now, Hugh Hewitt is as red-blooded a partisan as they come, yet I think there is considerable truth in this assessment:

George Bush's major task tonight is to show the voter that he is still the same man who led in the weeks and months after 9/11. Last week's performance was scored a loss by Bush by many because he did not look and sound like the war-time president he is and has been. His task is thus transparency. The Taba massacre reminds us all that the war continues to rage in palces far away from Baghdad, and the country needs a leader who will fight it, not talk about fighting it.

John Kerry's major task continues to be to conceal his true personality and his genuine convictions beneath a polish of hastily applied war-time resolve. He managed it in last week's debate except in the answers where he blundered badly. He blundered badly in yesterday's "Lebanon" press exchange, as many of the symposium posters have noted. The more the voters see of the real John Kerry and of the real John Kerry's Senate record, the less they like him.

Kerry is only speculating when he says that "we had Osama bin Laden cornered in the mountains of Tora Bora."

If I were Bush, I'd simply say; "how do you know that, and were are you getting your information?"

Then I'd sit back calmly, smile and shut my mouth.
