2nd Debate Format?
I heard the second debate is going to be undecided voters asking the candidate questions? If so, how can we be sure they are not stacked with a bunch of freepers?

2. We can't be sure.
Edited on Sun Oct-03-04 04:08 PM by TahitiNut
Indeed, at least one media-assembled group of "undecideds" (during the first debate) was recently PROVEN to be infiltrated by two Repugnant agitprop moles, having on-the-record, paid roles on the Republican right wing.

5. Gallup will be selecting the participants
So we can be sure if audience sentiment is unbalanced, it won't favor Democrats.

3. It will have freepers
But hopefully there will be Dems as well. I imagine it's hard to find undecided voters who are intelligent enough these days.

4. Actually I'm not very worried
Kerry will blow their questions out of the water, even if they are Freepers. It's not like they can cut him off by chanting "Four more years, four more years!"

Yeah, it means Bush will get thrown soft balls. But Kerry will still look good.

If there is a rebuttal opportunity as all (is there?), Bush is toast, regardless of the questions.

6. Format?
Perhaps the format will be the same as was the second of four speeches given in June--remember the four speechs Bush gave? The day after the ill-received first speech Rev. Ascroft issued his orange alert and, in the media ruckus that followed, we all seemed to forgot about speeches 2,3, and 4. So, maybe the second debate will be like the second speech not given in June

8. That's what I'm hoping for......
I'm hoping that a bunch of wingers show up, and the undecideds get a further lesson as to what's out there. The wingers do not realize just how viscerally unappealing they are. They will look like morons if they try to ask Kerry questions.

Think about it--imagine a swiftboater trying to keep it together long enough to ask a coherent question....not gonna happen.
