Gould,
I just found this web site I thought you might like. It rates the mud slung
by both parties. It looks like Kerry has gained a lead in slinging mud.
http://www.crawdadtech.com/campaign/

Maybe if he slings enough, he'll get back into the race. :-)

Does it strike you as just a bit tragic that we have organizations set up to
measure just *how* negatively one side or the other campaigns?

It's a sad fact that the name -calling, lies,
and malicious accusations seem to be what Boobus Americanus responds to most
enthusiastically. (That's why it has become the mainstay of most political
campaigns for the last 30 years or so).

It sure is, and if you take a look at Harry you will see he slings more mud
than everyone else put together. I would think the outrageous mud slinging
would case the undecided away, but who knows.

The only thing that will save Kerry is an extremely strong showing in the
debates.

Precisely why GWB would be wise to avoid the debates. Bush cannot speak
extemporaneously, and should never attempt it.

The general consensus on Bush is that he has done exceptionally well in his
debates...both with Al Gore in 2000, and Ann Richards in 1994. I think the
debates will actually *help* Bush by magnifying the biggest difference
between the two candidates...which is that Bush is firm, resolute, and can
"stay on message", and Kerry is a wishy-washy, flip-flopper whose message
will meander all over the place. In a Presidential debate, voters will want
concise, black-and-white answers...not shades of grey.

The only thing that Bush should avoid is the 'townhall' with 'independent
voters' It is basically a setup....it is far too easy to sack the
'audience' as shown by the pony tailed clown that wanted guvmint to play
'daddy' during the Bush/Clinton debates

Precisely. A townhall style debate allows the Democrats to turn the debate
into a meandering philisophical tit-for-tat with no clear answers given by
either side...which is precisely what Kerry is good at. People want
answers.

very few debates are anything more than buzz words and nice platitudes.

The only reason anyone here appears to sling any more mud than you, is
you cut and run by changing your name every couple of days.

Brilliant strategy! I vote Chuck Gould for Bush campaign manager!

See? I told you that message would resonate with his supporters. :-)
