the bottom line is Bush lost this one..he appeared unprepared and PO'ed...next one will be better...kerry will get a bounce...
i hope Bush gets more of the moms and housewifes on his side, especially in Ohio...
Note very carefully how sKerry managed to get Bush flustered several times when he did the personal attacks.
As someone who was once, liberal, and stupid I would tend to think that I (and others like me) would have been impressed by the fact that Kerry could manage the best of both worlds--winning and yet minimizing American losses. Of course, now I realize that formulating such plans is as easy as making a grand slam bid in bridge--just say "seven" and the name of a suit. Of course, coming up with plans that actually work is often another story.
I am somewhat concerned, though, that many people may come away with the impression that Kerry has a meaningful plan. Maybe I am a young and impulsive grasshopper, but I don't want this election to be close. I want this election to be sufficiently decisive that nobody can ever call Bush an "illegitimate president".
"We" didn't miss anything. There was no plan. Just statements that there was some mysterious plan. Please....
If it's mom's votes we're worried about, we just need to do our darn best to educate them. I'm a suburban mom, a conservative one, always!!!! I'm pretty sure that most mothers would not vote for the candidate that receives endorsements from porn sites, grants interviews to gay magazines, has supporters that propose exchanging sex for votes (votergasm.com), and whose constituancy puts together rallies called Vagina Votes! OH MY!!!! What is up with that!?! I read about it on Free Republic yesterday, couldn't believe it!
Also, another issue with moms, our children and the whole security thing. I was really bothered by Kerry's "global test passing' comment. I thought Bush's response was very good. I'd like to see this really hammered. This is a major security issue! I don't want to be playing suck up to the UN! I wonder what Kerry means by passing this so called test? What kind of test would this be, and what must one do to pass it? NOT IF I CAN HELP IT!!! NO WAY!!!!
