...their lines when ready and do what was right for the character. He'd then shoot it (no surprise then that Bjork had a harrowing experience, and said she would never be able to make a film again). His camera mimics a casual observer thrown into the fray, panning, craning, trying to catch all the action and hear all the dialogue, which might account for some of the cinematographic rough spots...
...Bush's advisers say this was partly a result of who Bush is - "It's not his manner" to rebut statistics with statistics, says Rove - and partly because his debate strategy was to avoid getting dragged into the policy weeds with Gore and instead stay sunny and above the fray. But Bill Bradley tried a version of that during the primaries, not refuting Gore when he hammered Bradley's health-care plan, and by the time Bradley realized his mistake, the voters had written him off. Which may be why Bush's team worked hard in the days after...

Finally, propositions round off the ballot in many states, where school vouchers and environmental protection are at stake...

Either way, it's in keeping with the above-the-fray image that Bush has cultivated with some success in this campaign. He might want to start applying that good sense to his tax-cut sales plan...
