p> BUSH ON THE MOVE br> Re: George Neumayr's The Peripatetic President : /p> p>George Neumayr hit a home run with "The Peripatetic President." To those familiar with psychological type (e.g., the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), Mr. Bush's pumped-up performance serves as an example of an ESTP (Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving) in action. Having a dominant function of "extroverted sensing," the President was energized by the setting, charging his batteries as he walked and talked. As compared to Coral Gables, Mr. Bush found the St. Louis debate more "in the moment" and, therefore, relevant. The questioners were voters with whom he could connect. His opponent, I believe, is an INTP (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving). Having a dominant function of introverted thinking, Mr. Kerry found the less formal setting a bit of a distraction, a tolerable burden. br> -- Rick Kresse br> Chicago, Illinois /p>

Finally!!! A conservative who saw the debate for what it was, a slam-dunk for Bush. He was energized, Kerry was stiff. Bush answered almost every question, completely and honestly; Kerry avoided so many. It was actually fun to watch as the president got the audience to laugh and have fun with him, all at Kerry's expense. Kerry was visibly perturbed, though he tried not to show it.
