You guys, this is a waste of time. Bush didn't lose because Kerry had some notes. He lost because you win some and lose some.
Worry about tomorrow, not yesterday's trivia.
Most in the usa won't care if kerry had an index card with him up there. Neither should we.
He signed an agreement NOT TO DO EXACTLY WHAT HE DID! He is important because it shows character!!
It's not the "win"...it's the CHEAT.
As a public school teacher, I feel it sets a terrible example to the children of America for a presidential candidate to openly break the rules of debate in front of 55 million people who took this seriously enough to watch late into the night.
Also this is the official N.E.A. candidate. I wonder if the great ultra liberal teachers union will demand an explaination or an apology. I wonder how many high school civics classes had watching the debate as a homework assignment for class discussion the following day. Also how many lib. teachers spun a great Kerry debate victory in class next day.
even if it was a love note from Teresa, it wasn't permitted by rules and sends wrong message to kids.
