The debates have become too staged and the answers too canned.

The first one will be a Bush win. If its about foreign policy, all he has to do is force Kerry to say he likes the UN. That would be the end of Kerry right there. Or equally as good, just put Kerry in the corner on any issue to find out what he believes. Man, he would be flip flop all over. Bush has to be himself, and Kerry will for sure say something stupid. You know the man lives with Teresa…nuff said.

A Zogby poll found that 57 percent of likely voters would like to see “other candidates” included in the debates. Bush and Kerry should have to support their positions against Nadar and Badnarik.

..personally my thoughts are its just a made for prime time waste of time.. if you dont know the issues by now and know where the candidates (giving Kerry the benefit of the doubt) stand..chances are you wont be able to find the polling place anyway..
