Tad Devine (Kerry aide) and Tucker Eskew (Bush aide) debated on CNN's Paula Zhan show last night in Ohio. LiberalOasis points out that this is a perfect trial run for the real debates later this election season. Unfortunately, it looks like the Bushies out debated Kerry's platform on issues on which Kerry is very strong! The Dems need to organize and toughen up for me to be confident that we can win this thing.
Bush used to be a really good debater. Remember, the folksy talk is a ruse. He's not dumb. He still has to appear dumb and bumbling to maintain the image (stay the course), but he's shrewd enough to use clever tactics and stay on his talking points. Kerry needs to pound back twice as hard.
