No. I'd have to think the Bush campaign would approach these with great care and deliberation. It should make for an interesting contest, in that Kerry is clearly more articulate, but it's easy to imagine his Lurch-ish presentation turning people off. We shall see . . .
Folks, what you have to remember is that when there are "debates" they won't be real debates in any recognizable sense of the term, but rather mutual photo ops with each talking head fielding predictable questions from a moderator chosen for his innocuous subservience.Originally posted by: Sudheer Anne

Kerry will not be allowed to grill Bush (nor vice versa). Neither candidate will even be allowed to address the other. How can anyone call such a milli-vanilli farce a debate. Both sides know that Bush could never survive even 10 minutes of a true unscripted debate without being horribly exposed.
Ten bucks to the first person to spot Cheney hiding under Bush's lecturn! :roll:

Perknose - In 2000, everyone said that Gore would destroy Bush when they got up and debated. Bush was dumb and couldn't stand up to that level of discussion. All the polls then showed that Bush beat Gore. Are you laying the groundwork to ease the disappointment if Bush does the same to Kerry?
If Bush is so dumb, how did he win last time? If he is so dumb, then how did he lead the Republicans to more seats in 2002? If he is so dumb, how did he manage to get such huge votes for the war against Iraq?
Please, keep up with the stories and thoughts that he just can't handle it. Even though result after result proves otherwise.
Personally, I want him nailed with tough WMD questions with follow-ups to make sure he fully answers the question.

Americans are paying markedly less attention to Iraq than in the last two months. At the same time, their opinions about the war have become more positive. The number of Americans who think the U.S. military effort is going well has jumped from 46% in May to 57%, despite ongoing violence in Iraq and the widening prison abuse scandal. And the percentage of the public who believes it was right to go to war inched up to 55%, from 51% in May.
The new Pew survey indicates that many Americans are becoming less connected to the news about Iraq and possibly more hardened to events there. Just 39% say they are tracking developments in Iraq very closely ? down 15 points since April and the lowest level this year. In addition, 35% say that people they know are becoming less emotionally involved with the news from Iraq, a sharp increase from 26% last month.
Favorable views of Kerry have slipped since his successful run through the Democratic primaries, as opinions of the presumptive Democratic nominee have grown more partisan. Currently, 50% have a positive impression of the Massachusetts Democrat ? down from 58% in February ? while negative opinions have increased sharply, from 28% to 41%.
Bush's favorable ratings are largely driven by positive evaluations of his personality. In an open-ended format, 65% of those who expressed a favorable opinion of Bush cited his personal characteristics ? especially honesty, leadership and his religious beliefs
Roughly half of voters (51%) think Bush is most likely to win, while 35% say Kerry. Despite some increase in confidence, Kerry backers continue to express far less optimism about their candidate's chances than do Bush backers. By an 81% to 8% margin, voters who support George W. Bush think he, not Kerry, will prevail in November. By comparison, 64% of Kerry backers pick their candidate as the likely victor, while 23% think Bush will end up winning
