How could GWB be so awful in a debate when he's had four years to prepare? He's had fifty-plus years of silver spoon-feeding. For the last four, he has only faced a small circle of advisors, locked in groupthink. Thursday he was forced to share a stage with a smarter, tougher and better prepared opponent. Digby says it better. Read it and pass it on to everyone you know.
