debate v3.0
if you can remember "underdog" from four years ago, that's exactly what president bush did in this debate.
it's a classic strategy: there are three instances to prove his mettle - if you start weak, it'll give your opponent the advantage, give you the chance to be self-decrepit and cutesy to your supporters and the undecideds.
you duke it out on the level of your opponent for the second time around.
and then you slam dunk him in the third instance, when he's built his confidence. voila! instant strategy clinch, with 19 days till election day to go.
19 long - or short - days, depending on how retaliations fly. ;-) ¶ 10/13/2004 10:34:00 PM
