Debates: Not enough attacks on Bush for me
They spent too much time on idle talk instead of attacking Bush like they should have been doing. Hopefully they'll hit Bush a bit harder.

The one exception was Mosley-Braun when she said Bush was not elected.

1. was I watching the same channel ?
there was constant hacking at Bush, occasionally to the detriment of making debate points.

Its supposed to be a debate between candidates, not a bitch session against Bush.

3. They Didn't Attack Bush Because ...

Attacking Bush is reserved for when people like us (who will be voting in the primaries) are listening, so that we will vote for them. A debate on a channel like Fox would be to attract any moderates watching Fox, so they will have to use a more moderate message.

4. Either that's sarcasm...
or we were watching different debates. They were constantly hammering * all thru the debate. Can't recall a response that didn't have some comment against him or the administration. Personally I'm suprised Fox didn't drop the signal, claim technical difficulties, and put up Hannity an hour early.
