InflightSupv 0 #26 October 1, 2004 One more comment and I'm done. I would almost give a kidney to have a Repub say that Kerry did a good job tonight or for a Dem to say the Dubya did a good job tonight. No one in the media can be nonpartisan, of that I am sure.

ChasingBlueSky 0 #27 October 1, 2004 QuoteQuoteGWB looks like a deer in the headlights. Notice how Kerry keeps looking down and scribbling on his notepad as though he were actually taking notes? It's something they teach you to do in debate. Take bullet point notes to have a much stronger rebutal._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Zenister 0 #30 October 1, 2004 Well Bush got it right... but he's also avoided the word in his continuing statement... seems some practice paid off.... overall I'd say Bush played to emotional appeal, particularly in his end summary, while Kerry is used his time to better express his position to the public.. Kerry also went to the Bill Clinton school of hand gesture...wither that is good or bad.... Good move on the part of Bush to have his whole family up on stage at the end, it certainly looked better than Kerry and his wife standing alone and the family appeal is something Bush wants to emphasize, but his daughters were obviously very strictly coached..."keep your hands together and in front of you..." QuoteYou said: Quoteuh oh... he's going to have to say nuclear a few times now..... But a few minutes before that, you said: Quotepay attention to the actual statement..I know it might be hard, but are you actually watching the debate??? Making fun of the vehicle, and not the message? I'll bet you're a democrat. you lost that bet. I was only pointing out that this would be an opportunity for the much expected gaffs. It honestly wouldnt surprise me if Kerry intentionally planned his answer there to say nuclear as many times as possible to provoke the word from Bush...flustering your opponent, making him stumble and appear foolish is simply good debate tactics. Quoteleaning on your podium is a big no no... it projects weakness of position and a lack of confidence. QuoteInteresting opinion. To each is his own. do you have any formal debate or public speaking experience? Any entry level speech course will tell you that is bad posture and projects poor position. In public speaking, HOW you deliver your message is at least (or more depending on audience) as important as the message itself. You can have the best writers in the country (and they do) but if you cant deliver it very well you will lose your audience. It is a performance after all, and one of the reasons why Reagan was so successful in his debates against Carter, he was simply an outstanding public speaker. If someone like James Earl Jones had run in his prime he'd have been a hard man to beat... in the debates at least....____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

newsstand 0 #32 October 1, 2004 I will be voting for Kerry but I think Bush closed better than Kerry did. I think over all Kerry presented him self more coherently (sp?). I also thought it was interesting how when the first light came on Bush seemed to focus and get on message. Most of the time before that he seemed to wander around. I also give Bush points for skipping the question on if the US was at greater risk if Kerry was elected. "Truth is tough.

Kerry is an excellent debator. I agree. Sadly, I believe Kerry won the debate tonight. Bush really sucks as a debator. He waffles when speaking under pressure. It was very frustrating to me. I felt like I almost needed to finish his sentences for him. I agreed with what he was trying to say but he just isn't very effective at getting it across in that type of setting. I hope he gets his shit together before next week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
