Bush Says Debates Highlight His Record
http://sandiego.cox.net/cci/newsnational/national?_mode=view&_state=maximized&view=article&id=D85NEQ780

LAS VEGAS -- President Bush said Thursday the trio of prime-time debates with Sen. John Kerry demonstrated he is running on his record _ and his opponent away from his own _ even as the Republican campaign acknowledged that Kerry had gained from the confrontations viewed by tens of millions of Americans.

The Democratic Party was quick to publicize what it called a debate "threepeat" for Kerry, launching two videos that mocked Bush's performance. One shows Bush talking about Osama bin Laden and telling White House reporters, "I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run," then denying during the debate that he had ever said it.

The other video shows Bush laughing when asked about uninsured Americans.

Bush played down negative reviews of his debate performances. "The pundits and the spinners _ they all have their opinions but there's only one opinion that matters and that's the opinion of the American people on Nov. 2," he told reporters during a rare visit to the press cabin on Air Force One. "I feel great about where we are."

2. I think Smuggins shares an opinion with us...
I feel great about where he is, too: tanking and getting ready to pack up and go back to the swamp he crawled out of.

6. It most certainly did, indeed.
But it was NOT a good thing for bunkerboy, by any measure.

Finally - welcome to OUR universe, you lying, thieving criminal!

12. Bush Comments
I listened to those comments, on the radio, as I was driving home from a meeting.

It's obvious that the wind has gone out of his sail. He sounded tired and defeated. :D

I voted, yesterday. I'm 52, and have been voting since I was 18. I can't explain how empowering the voting process was, yesterday. It felt like I was doing the most important thing in my life. The rush was pretty cool...even at my age. LOL!!

Onward and upward!
