Will Kerry's new orange look attract unknown minority groups to Kerry? Will Bush show up in an F-16 in order to rally the fighter plane moms? Will Kerry attempt to show his athletic prowess by bench pressing an heiress? Will Bush hum "Hail to the Chief" before answering any questions?

Those of us wishing for a TKO during the debates will be disappointed. Both of these guys are bright, well prepared, and capable. Both of them -- in ad agency media whore lingo--are able to be a "groovy visual." Any of you who are watching Bush on O'Reilley see that four years in office and constant media appearances have smoothed out all the rambling, faltering, sloppy speech that marked him back in 2000. He has been taking elocution and vocal coaching that has cleared up his poor articulation and increased his vocal range so that he is easier to listen to, and he actually argued with O'Reilley without being offensive.

According to Democrat propaganda, Kerry is a Harvard intellect, a brilliant man with a complete grasp of every situation, and the personification of manhood and debating skill. He will have to "warm up," which is a very difficult task to accomplish in only one year of campaigning. He has learned to focus on single issues (lately), appears to be aggressive, and has won many campaigns.

The only question any of us should ask about these non-debate debates is who the fuck needs them? We don't have a parliamentary system. Our presidents will never have to debate anybody anywhere. What counts is leadership, the ability to recognize problems, and the skill to advocate legislation that will solve those problems.

This is not a debating "class." Remember, Lincoln whipped Douglas in their famous "debates" but Douglas won the 1858 election to the Senate. Debates have always been entertainment in our country, serving only to rally interest of the already convinced. The main difference between now and the distant "then" is that all of us can see and hear debates as they happen because of TV. We don't have to rely on a corrupt press "interpreting" them for us. When Lincoln and Douglas were debating only a few hundred were present to hear them. The press, owned by extreme partisans then as now, would "report" on what was said.

The MSM will show their biased talking heads immediately after the debates to tell us what went down. The dinosaurs feeding on the last of the plants in the continual dark will try to lie to us as usual as if we're all a bunch of morons. Thanks to live TV we can make up our own minds. About what, is open to question. Am I going to watch? Hell yes. This is like a Super Bowl.
