Net War Room for Bush vs Kerry Debate
ancice writes "Article by Wired. Seems like Bush and Kerry are going to battle in cyberspace. The Bush Team is going to have a War Room to provide live rebuttals to thousands of conversative blogs. Not much info on Kerry's response though. This seems like a good use of the Information Super Highway. Would be interesting to see how this War Room will affect the election. Will this tactic be successful or will it be information overload? Worse still, will technology be exploited? Tune in on Thursday."
I think you're missing a certain other element- who won is really about how the public responds to a candidate. After a few days, it became clear that the public related more to Bush during the debates.
I don't say this as a partisan (I am, aren't you?), but when Gore talks he's not very engaging. Bush is- Bush seems like "one of us" when he talks. That's good. I think Kerry is going to have the same problem that Gore had in 2000- he comes across as condescending when he speaks. Bush doesn't. This isn't Repub or Dem- its just an observation.

all pay outrageously high taxes and have our lives controlled by the government.
Bush wants to "define marriage" in a Constitutional Amendment. It's hard to get more controlling then that.
Bush wants big tax breaks for the rich. He wants the middle class to foot the bill.
I saved $40 fucking dollars thanks to the elimination of the capital gains tax. Big fucking whoop. Of course, with that comes with a $500 Billion deficit that I will be paying off for the rest of my life.
That's not fiscal conservatism. The President is a lier.
94% of Repubs and 21% of Dems voted to renew the Patriot Act
Yeah, I must be a freelance facist, that's it.
Can you look me in the eye and post that Kerry isn't full of crap half the time?? Like Kerry taking the president to task for starting the "wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time". Didn't Kerry vote FOR the war??
And then Kerry criticizes Bush because "the troops don't have body armor". Great job Mr. Kerry, didn't you vote against the funding to supply the troops with that armor??
Wake up man, you obviously can't debate this rationally.
