**OFFICIAL** Kerry/Bush Debate Thread: 2nd Debate to be 'Town-Hall' Style

[arsbanned]

Bush pulled tried to pull away early from the handshake. Seemed uptight when they first walked out. OTOH, Kerry turned all the way around before proceeding to the podium?

yeah i saw Bush pull his hand away!!

kerry is attacking Bush so far... how osama is in Afghan. and not in iraq, opium production.

Bush's pause was kind of funny...it's kind of painful to watch him speak after Kerry.

 

[ndee]

Bush sure takes long pauses between his sentences.

 

[isasir]

Kerry's hitting hard early.

I'm waiting for Bush to say "flip flop"...

 

[tallest1]

Kerry is soooooo winning this debate. Only 15 minutes in and Bush is already running out of phrases from his rhetoric bin

[Vic]

Woohoo... the ol' Potomac Two-step!

 

[fallenangel99]

OH MAN! hahaha

bush just said we are after saddam hussien

oh man he is so confused now!!!

 

[Yossarian]

just when it seems like GWB is getting on a roll he starts sputtering all over himself. it's kind of embarrassing to watch.

 

[Vic]

Why is succeeding in Iraq more important than succeeding the war on terror? How will America be more secure if we succeed there? He didn't answer that.

 

[ndee]

Kerry PWNS him so far.

[BHeemsoth]

Didnt kerry vote against a bill providing body armor for our troops?

For all those who think the Pres is an awkward speaker, it's not completely true.

There was a great story on NPR a few days ago where they played clips of the Pres from his 1994 Gov' debates- He was quick and to the point- very sharp. NOT the same speaking style as the GWB of today.

His speaking style now is more affectation than anything else- it has to be a put-on. Listen to those '94 debates and you'll hear what I mean.

GW. I'm watching CSPAN streaming off the net, so maybe it's a little disjointed/off time sync?

Yeah, he looks at the moderator instead of the camera but Bush SURE looks kinda stupid.

Exactly. Even ckg would have to admit Bush looks irritated on his end. I don't think that looks good. In addition, some of his expressions are downright simian.

 

[isasir]

$30 billion for Homeland Security, but $500billion (?) for Iraq? Is that correct?
