Best description I've read of the 2000 Bush/Gore debates (from
here) was that "Bush spoke English as if it were his second language and Gore spoke it as if it were your second language. The smirking jerk versus the condescending preppy." This characterization, Kerry absolutely must avoid.
Any thoughts on the upcoming debates? I haven't read too much about the expectations games going on, though I'm sure that they are.
It'll be interesting to see if they can get Kerry a personality injection, and what strategy they'll devise for Bush now that the "Caveman Lawyer" strategy is now inapplicable.
