1. Thanks for showing

that. Great to see Kerry get more "A's" then Bush. Although I was a bit disappointment with the "D." Bush didn't get one "A" though which is great. :)

5. Great Begala quote

"If a Martian were watching this debate, he would think that Kerry was the President, not Bush."

6. Can I have some of what Carlos Watson is smoking?

Content: Bush: B+ Kerry: B

There is simply no way you could come away from this debate giving the content edge to Bush. If I had Watson for a professor, I wouldn't even show up for class as it's obvious that bad is good and up is down in his world.

The bigger problem is that the media is bending over backwards to appear impartial, but it's impeading them from doing their job. Watson knows Kerry blew Bush out of the water, so does Jeff Greenfield, so does Bob Schaeffer (sp?) on CBS. Unfortunately, they believe stating the obvious is the same as being biased. If the analysts are not truly going to analyze, then there's no point in having them speak.

Prediction: We're going to hear alot about how "we still don't know what Kerry's plan is for Iraq" in the coming days from the talking heads. The truth is we know MORE about what Kerry will attempt to do in Iraq than what Bush will attempt to do. "Stay the course" doesn't fly when A. There is no course, we had no plan for reconstruction and B. Things are getting worse in Iraq, not better.

Kerry really put the screws to Bush tonight, and now Bush has to debate on HIS perceived weaknesses in the the next two debates. I am a little worried about plants in the town hall meeting that will attempt to paint Kerry in a poor light.
