Body Language of Fox's Political Roundtable

...is tough to guage. I think most of them really don't know who's winning or losing. Brit seems sorta upbeat, but that might just be that he's keen for a good story. Kristol seems dour and depressed and ready to rip Bush a new one, but then, when doesn't he seem like that?

More...

Kristol now saying if Bush loses, he lost because of his unnerving performance in his first debate. Other panelists joining in. They seem to be writing the story, "Kerry Wins; Bush Gave it Away in Debate."

More...

Kondracke blames assumed loss on Bush's failure to use Face the Nation quote against Kerry in ad ("to not vote for the $87 billion would be reckless").

Now they're discussing the no-WMD-story as a reason for Bush's "possible" loss.

But remember: Nobody knows anything. This trick of reading bodylanguage only works in the normal election, in which the journalists have a pretty good idea of who's winning but they withhold it from the audience.

They don't necessarily know anything more than any of us at this point.

But they do sound like they're doing a postmortem on Bush.

Juan Williams looks like he's got a stick up his ass.

Hell, maybe he does....

I was just about to say . . . Juan doesn't seem like he's popping open a champagne bottle, and he loathes Bush.

I'm not sure what this poll is supposed to represent over at WAPOST, but they keep updating it and I keep liking what it says:

They do sound like they're doing a post-mortem, but then they're also having to deal with what we're all dealing with, which is how could Bush possibly be in a tight race?

By rights, this thing should be a total blowout, but it's not. What happened.

Still, you're right, Ace, they don't know any more than we do. It's close. That's what they know.

They look about the way the hysterical wussies at the Corner would look if -they- were on TV.

Posted by: someone on November 2, 2004 06:57 PM

The knew more than us. Brit waited until the exact stroke of the hour to start declaring winners. They had, at least, some advanced info. Remember, they will get this info from VNS, which they have paid for.

But, I don't think you can read body language.

H.D Miller - wondering....which is how could Bush possibly be in a tight race?

Because he has been a mediocre President at best. Huge deficits, pork to his cronies, utter failure of trickledown to work, inarticulate communicator, unwilling to admit mistakes past or fix ongoing ones. And the neocons.....

"Kristol now saying if Bush loses, he lost because of his unnerving performance in his first debate."

Bill Kristol ought to emphasize Bush's awful 1st debate as an excuse - because he is one of the Neocons whose head will roll if Bush loses.
