Getting to cap off the day with the Daily Show debate coverage is wonderful. My thoughts were pretty clear from the previous entries (if I finish this within 10 minutes, I'll have made 10 entries in just this day alone), so I'll instead link to some various opinions from other blogs I read... From Josh Marshall From Chris Bowers That's all for now. Want to have a double-digit-post day for once. |

Four years ago, everyone was up in mock indignation at Gore's audible sighing. This time around, Bush was rolling his eyes as often or more so. Will we hear about this? Or will the "liberal media" overlook it? |
||||
|
|
||||
Another one I missed, found this at http://www.oliverwillis.com/: Bush just said there are 100K trained Iraqis. Really? |
||||
|
|
||||
A caller to C-SPAN after the debate: "The final score was three glasses of water for President Bush, one drink of water for Mr. Kerry." |
||||
|
|
||||
Because of my spotty stream at first, I missed these gems from Kerry: "We didn't need that tax cut. America needed to be safe." "I made a mistake in how I talked about the war. The President made a mistake in how he conducted the war. Which is worse?" (Found at http://demwatch.blogspot.com/) |
||||
|
|
||||
BUSH: "You cannot lead if you send mixed messages." Remember Bush's flip-flop over whether the war on terror can be won? Within a few days' time? |
||||
|
|
||||
President: "We won't succeed if we send mixed signals" |
||||
|
|
||||
President: "My administration worked to create the department of Homeland Security." |
||||
|
|
||||
Thanks to C-SPAN, I've got a good feed that is both audio and video. And this has led me to two interesting observations:
Currently, Bush is waxing nostalgic about a specific widow he can mention by name. But then, Kerry's is making oblique Vietnam references in his response, so that point has got be called a draw. I thought Bush would be more eloquent. Debating is supposedly his strong suit. This is looking a lot more like Kennedy-Nixon '60 than Bush-Gore '00. |
||||
|
|
||||
I'm not going to be able to get the whole of the debate, because I'm at my office. The demand for streaming audio seems to be high, because my RealPlayer client keeps losing its place in the stream. So I'll have to rely on what bits I both get and get clearly-enough to reliably repeat. Here's the first: BUSH: "If you harbor a terrorist, you're as guilty as a terrorist." 15 of 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi Arabians. This must be bad news for them, no? |
