In the last days of the campaign there was a photo of Bush walking up the stairs to Air Force One. His back was wet with sweat and I noticed that there was a similar crease line on his shirt across his back that there had been during the debate.

That's also why he read to the kids on 9/11. They had to secure the building and his exit.

Although your statement is correct, it is also somewhat offset by the level of anger and hate that appears to have ratcheted up another notch after this victory.

Word is the bulletproof vest bulge was to prevent Arlen Specter from stabbing President Bush in the back.

I can't even believe anyone would say it was a device feeding him answers lol. If it were, they sure were not the best answers. As we all remember, he did the best during the 2nd and 3rd debates, not the first one.
