I think part of the problem is how, with an event like this, we're helpless captives. We can't give Bush the right words, we can't mute an obvious political hack "undecided", we can't enforce the rules, we can't control the post-debate "Kerry won" propaganda from the "analysts" and so forth. It's kind of like watching the airplanes fly into the WTC towers. You can't stop them mid-air.
Bush is doingokay ... zingers on trial lawyers, good answer on medicare,
Kerry: "proposal for a tax cut" tax cut for people of 200,000 ... 1.9 million jobs added in the last 13 months.
deficit cut in half ... 15% when i got into office.
I'm not going run up taxes and I'm not going short-change the troops.
Kerry promises not to raise taxes ... $2.2 trillion.
