...round keeps both of them on camera a substantial amount of the time. If you believe that you see the true man during his down time, it doesn't speak well for either candidate. Gore tended to freeze ramrod-straight when finished, like a photocopier gone into energy-conservation mode; Bush had a disconcerting tendency to cross his hands in front of his crotch and sway, as though he just realized he'd been hitting the podium-side water a little too heavily.

Gore will hope he has encouraging news to relay from the White House, and will stay out of kindergarten-teacher mode when he's answering the questions of ordinary citizens in St. Louis. Bush, having cemented his position as at least a viable candidate, will have to keep up his momentum on foreign policy, and find some statesmanlike way to pin the current turmoil on the last seven and a half...
