While I am a complete amateur at political wonkery, I will nonetheless offer a quick prediction for the evening's debate.
W will be incredibly smug, glib, will laugh at everything Kerry says and will make at least one major verbal faux pas, and yet will win the debate handily, making Kerry look like a dink. Bush will have a stock line prepared for when Kerry spends 5 minutes answering a yes/no question. Kerry will attack Bush for his grip on reality, but I suspect Rove and company are waiting for this and will have a line prepared there too. In general, the debate will be controlled by W and Kerry will look like an afterthought.
So we will see how incredibly wrong I am soon.
