Okay, I haven't updated this site for a few weeks/months and I've totally missed commentating on the presidential campaign. Sorry, but I'm sure this hasn't really effected anyone's life.
The President did better in the debates than the pundits and the high school debate coaches would have you believe and here is why. Even though Bush put forth his point of view much better for the last two debates, Kerry made some grave mistakes during his stoic retort on that same first debate. The statement about needing to pass a "Global Test" and offering nuclear fuel to Iran will both (or should) come back to bite him. And therefore, he cannot be considered the winner of the first debate.
Cheney mopped the floor with Johnny Edwards as it looked like the father of a teenage daughter arguing with her boyfriend. One person was serious and the other wasn't. Don't get me wrong, Edwards was serious about what he said, but you can't take him as such if you are a thinking adult. Edwards is supposed to be this brilliant lawyer, yet he tried to make the point that States do not recognize a marriage from another State (in response to a question on a gay marriage ban via a Constitutional amendment). I don't remember having to get remarried when I moved from Colorado to California. Not a serious choice in a candidate.
With less than a month before the election things should be getting HOT and dirty. Hopefully Hugh Hewitt's prediction of a 40 state win by GWB will be correct. Stay tuned.
