I agree with everything you said and those are his good points.
I wouldn't spit in his ear either.
Thanks. If someone started talking me in person like Kerry did during that "debate" I'd keep one hand on my wallet and the other hand on a weapon.
BTW, something occurred to me: I've seen Dubya make plenty of mistakes in the past (as will anyone who tries anything new), but I've never seen him make the same mistake twice. I expect the remaining debates will be very interesting indeed.
