Tonight is the first Pres­i­den­tial Debate. I am afraid. Read­ing this arti­cle in the Wash­ing­ton Post only makes me moreso. If this elec­tion has really come down to the debate(s), wouldn’t we be bet­ter off with John Edwards up there instead of John Kerry? He’s bet­ter in front of a cam­era, he thinks on his feet, he never mis­steps, he’s got that megawatt smile…

I worry.

    So what did you think? I was very relieved that Kerry put on a decent per­for­mance. Per­son­ally I thought George Bush appeared to be a big stu­pid baby (“He keeps chang­ing his posi­tions!”), but I already thought that so it wasn’t any­thing new. My favorite part: Kerry say­ing that you can be cer­tain about some­thing, but be wrong! I heard this morn­ing that the polls say unde­cided vot­ers thought that Kerry won, but still pre­ferred Bush. It’s enough to make you pull your hair out!

    I agree. I was pretty happy with Kerry’s per­for­mance. I thought he looked quite pres­i­den­tial and was coher­ent and intel­li­gent. Bush looked like a petu­lant, defen­sive, sim­ple­ton. I loved Kerry catch­ing him in a strate­gic blun­der when he claimed that we went to war because the enemy attached us. When in fact, as Kerry pointed out, Osama bin Laden attacked us, not Sadam Hussein.

    Ugh!!!! Why would any­one vote for George Bush?!!!!!! I don’t under­stand it. Can some­one please explain to me why so many peo­ple like George Bush?
