I was calling him on everything he said loudly and with Passion, it's just that the only one who heard me was my dog and possibly my neighbors. You are right, it was very frustrating. I do agree though that it was part of the plan. We went into this ahead and we want to keep it that way. I am sure sKerry had more canned statements he could have used, but Bush kept them at a minimum by staying on message. I believe the further away from the debate we move the happier we will be with the strategy.
