He was OK. But at times it seemed he was reading dem talking points. He never asked Kerry about his record. For that he gets demerits.

And Kerry wasn't citing talking points!?! other than his blah blah blah blah bla, that's all I heard.

Wow. I could not disagree more. :) The moderator asked Kerry a lot of tough questions, including about how he would pay for it all, and whether his position on social security was to do nothing, and let the problem fester. The man was ripping Kerry apart time and again. I think Schieffer if anything was a bit pro Bush. I don't think he asked Bush any tough questions.

What was great about Schieffer is that he facilitated forcing Kerry out of the closet and shining the light on Kerry's positions. One hanging curve ball Bush missed was to note that Kerry seemed to have spent his tax increase several times, on more money for education, on more money to inspect every container, on more money for folks on the border, on more money to subsidize health insurance for millions more, on more money to bail out social security, and more money for cops and fireman. I think he spend the same dollars about six times. Kerry also said that he has put up all his numbers about where the dollars come from and go. Where ARE those numbers? I have never seen them.

And why are Kerry and Edwards so obsessed with Cheney's daughter's sexuality? Are they pandering to the homophobe vote or something?

Odd.
