Happening alright
Kerry is smoking Shrub like a side of bacon. The latter is a grunting, sniffling, prissy moron caught with his brain down. Kerry is cool, calm, and in charge of facts. It's Marlowe vs. Mountbatten.

Agree.
Bush was toasted.
The last 2 30 second extensions were actually painful to watch.

No, it's painful.
That man represents the U.S. right now. He's painful to watch.
Comment heard in the "after-spin": Bush pulled a Gore in the cut-away shots. Many times he looked angry and dispeptic while Kerry was speaking. Kerry just took notes and looked amiable while Bush was speaking.

He is?
Those things with arms and legs are not the Honored Right, they are the Proto Fascist Automatons. Marlowe and his gutter ilk having NOTHING in common with honorable people like Goldwater and Eisenhower, Phillips and Buchanan.

He is what?
And it doesn't matter *what* he is. The President represents the U.S. to the world.

No he doesn't
The world isn't stupid - Bush represents oil money, not the American people.

You're missing my point.
He represents the U.S. He's the President. That's how it is. He signs the treaties, he talks with the other world leaders. He may not represent the views of you and me, but as far as what counts on the world stage (not opinion, but how things work) he represents us.

Beg to differ, slightly.
Officially, he represents us. However, I can't tell you how many people abroad I've heard from directly and through my father who remains in contact with quite a few people there (many, many contacts from Russia, Bosnia, Germany, etc. from my dad's handful of stints w/Soros Foundation organizations) who say that they are always aware of "how Bush came to power." That said, they are watching this election closely and if it turns out that Bush actually wins the election this time, then I think it would be fair to say "Bush represents the US" and that is how the folks I've heard from will see it as well.
That, more than anything else, is why Bush must be defeated again this time around in my view.

Er, okay, but ...
that isn't exactly what you said. You said, "He represents the U.S. He's the President. That's how it is." The difference is subtle, but important.

Re: Er, okay, but ...
Which is why I also said, he may not represent what you and I think, but he still represents the U.S.

Better.
"He may not represent the views of the majority of Americans, nor any Americans who believe in the principles set forth in the US Constitution, but he does formally, technically, and officially represent the United States."
D'accord? ;-)

Looks like a technical to me
I would judge the debate a win for Kerry but on technical points not a knock out. Neither side got in a knock out punch, neither side fell down. Kerry got in more good body jabs, and Bush stumbled a few times.
Bush made better use of the 1 minute extensions. Having Leher extend the questions when Bush wanted to say something, which Kerry never did. But Kerry was better on the rebounds then Bush and kept Bush from landing any heavy blows that way.
Both of the them made some statements I really question. Bush has a habit of taking credit for things he was forced to do against his will, mentioning Homeland security, going to the UN for backing and multiparty talks with North Korea. Kerry mentioned Bin Laden in Afgansitan, and his appropriations votes.
Looks like we are going down to the wire on this one, I just hope we can avoid a sudden death overtime like last election.
