That's the 2nd really bad question tonight. -=Mike Who are the moderators for #2 and #3? I heard Bob Schieffer for one?

I hate the Kerry picture they use in CNN ads and other places where it looks like he just smelled a fart. Ooh, Bush thinks Kerry's a good dad!

Twenty more minutes to go. Pretty solid debate so far, IMO.

Come on Kerry, work in some more 'Nam references.

"No! This is not a joke! I am not a joke! I am serious! And you will not look past me, you stupid son-of-a-bitch!" From Mike's sig...I would love it if Kerry ended with this line.

Kerry pounces... "Kerry's from the Serenghetti!!! He's got the POOOOOOUUUUUUNNNNNCE! Okay that made me laugh. Next Bush will fight back as Double-J drills Kerry with a guitar. "CHOKE ON THAT, SLAPNUTS!"

Bush with the first big sigh of the night. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

"Of course I know Osama Bin Laden attacked us...I know that!"

He agreed that Bush is doing the right thing by reforming Iraqi civillians. But he has a better plan for doing it. Which you can read at JOHNKERRY.COM! :: thumbs up, cheap pop :: What's that email address, Senator? JOHNKERRY.COM!!! HUZZAH!

Yeah, that's a pretty stupid argument. I don't know if that's exactly what he was saying, but that's what he surely was insinuating...

I'm surprised Kerry didn't mention that when asked about Bush "lying" about Iraq to the people.

"The enemy attacked us..." Al Qaeda attacked us, yes...but we're in Iraq...

"To answer that next question, Jim, let me get on my banjo and play a little ditty..."

Agreed, esp. since he has the pre-invasion events screwed up. Yeah, they're both going to the well too often with some of their lines/points/etc.

"I've been preparing long and hard for this debate...in fact...I was UP ALL NIGHT."

I don't think he's coming across that way, talking about the lack of body armor and such. That is showing compassion for the troops. Only problem is that the story is actually false. -=Mike But unless the media tells that to people, no one will ever think twice about it...

"wrong war, wrong time, wrong place..." Bush is using that line too much. We get the point already.

"losing people in combat" "come back from fighting in that war" 2 more war references...

Agreed. I remember Bush and Gore talking about old ladies losing medicare last time.

Bush might not win the flip flop argument, but Kerry isn't going to shed the flip flop label anytime soon, whether you think that's fair or not...

Yeah, that's pretty dumb rhetorically. You're not going to convince any conservative/moderates to suddenly jump aboard by trying to link yourself with Reagan, it just looks stupid.

No, not really...

Bush wants a duel to the death. IN ANGER~! Clear the monitors off the table, Lehrer! Someone's going through that table!

Yeah, he needs to do his "squint and smirk" thing some more.

I didn't catch it, what did he say?
