This could be Kerry's opportunity to trim Bush's lead in the polls

The first of the Presidential debates is scheduled for this Thursday the 30th, at Uof Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. This debate may offer Kerry an opportunity to make up lost ground from the debacle of last week (the Allawi incident, his new anit-war stance, the news from the polls in the battleground states), if he is able to make Bush give the "hurts-when-I-think" look.

Ever seen Bush give an interviewer this look? I'm sure that you know what I am talking about, especially if you have ever taken Trigonometry with a football player in college. It's a haunted, confused glance, coupled with the deadly, mumbled "uhhh..." that I've seen our leader give when asked difficult questions that his campaign staff has not prepped him for, and he has to think of the responses himself. Remember that hit piece during the last campaign, when the "journalist" started quizzing him on world leaders?

That's the look he wants to avoid, if at all possible. Giving that look during the debate (even though we have Bush's terrorism response record to look at), will serve as a reminder to many who are on the edge of voting for Bush why they shouldn't - because he appears like he's just spouting things the handlers tell him, instead of believing in the positive outcome of the war.
