[Flame On]

To me it's like the debate in the main board. It's issues based vs. positional based debating. The Bush camp only hit talking points, sound bites and appeal to base fears and concerens aswell as emotional heart-string pulling and patriotism. Kerry's camp seems to have actual policy and plans to speak of.
The States, to me, seems too emotionally scared and freaked out by terror (even though it's worst case happened under the republican watch) and are needing something more "from the gut" to vote with and thus Issue based debating seems a better tactic.
This past week I too formulated the opinion that Bush will take it. What I can't understand is that Bush who states he has strong leadership and is the person to trust on security and threat, has done nothing to prove that. He's actually dropped the ball devastatingly so several times yet still has the wool pulled over their eyes.
4 more years of Freedom fries i guess.
