potentially incendary I believe.
Anyway. My view is it is possible that he has dementia. I would like to see more than one doctors scattershot analysis of it before something like this should take off and really be discussed though.
I personally don't think Bush has ever been all that good at speaking in the last four years. The only times he ever has a good showing is when the speech was able to be coached well ahead of time. Any off the cuff things like debates all destroy Bush.
He hasn't done well in either debate yet. The first one he was woefully unprepared and the second one he either exposed "Furious George" or lied/made incorrect statements.
The Gore debates weren't any better. Gore shot himself in the foot with the sighing. Gore won the debates hands down when you don't just take the candidates words for it and research their claims. That is what is tearing Bush apart this time. He says things at the debates and the media quickly pounces on both sides lies and inconsistencies. Bush just has more, and they are more damaging. Additionally, for Gore the media took him down by repeating Republican talking points about Gore that were false.
I also don't really know what Bush was like before 1999. I don't know how much he was able to be coached before any speaking arangement and how formal the questions were in all his debates for Tx Gov. So on that, I can't speak. There, you asked for it and I said it.
