It's the undecideds I'm worried about. Bush just doesn't come across like he really knows the issues in detail and on the social issues he needed to energize his Christian conservative base (of which I am one) and I was really let down the way he was so wishy washy on the Life issue. He should have taken on the Roe question instead of side-stepping it. It was glaringly obvious he was trying to avoid controversy.

I'm a Keyes Conservative though... and we know how well he's doing speaking the unvarnished truth in Illinois.

As long as Bush wins I don't care if he talks like Elmer Fudd

Ah, yes, the famous "undecideds." I think you can rest assured these amorphous creatures did one of the following: a) watched the baseball game; b) fell asleep after Kerry's first answer; c) turned the channel once they got a glimpse of Shieffer's ugly face; d) didn't even know there was a debate and e) won't vote anyway, so who cares what they think?

How deeply should the president have gotten into it in a minute or so? He expressed a deep belief in the sanctity of all life, including that of the unborn. He answered correctly, though, about the litmus test - a judge is appointed to the bench to strictly interpret the Constitution. That does not just mean the issue of Life, but of every question of constitutionality. A judge that strictly interprets the Constitution inherently will respect the rights of the states on issues such as abortion.

As far as Keyes is concerned - I thought I was a Keyes conservative until I recently heard his position on reparations. I would never vote for him for anything.
