pre-Debate debacle September 30, 2004 3 comments
As pre-packaged poised & prepared these top cats will be, I’m still psyched for tonights premier presidential debate.
US News & World Report has an interesting piece titled Acting, with No second takes, taking a look at debate drama from old & new schools alike.
A point I enjoyed:
“Bush has always benefited from low expectations… No one is ever going to imagine Bush cleaning the clock of his opponent. Instead, they will say, ‘The other guy didn’t do the knockout’. One of Kerry’s strengths - and problems in the expectations game - is that he is considered an impressive debater”.
Basically, when people expect little, they’re satisfied when they get little. One of these guys has got to slip up tonight, and my money’s on Bush, he’s due for a public embarrassment.
My recommendations for tonights festivities:
- start out watching it on the Fox news channel, they’re the only ones filming the debate, and all other networks are using their feed.
- Take note of all the rules the networks are supposed to follow, and see if they follow them.
