Man. Amos, I am glad you watched the debate or I'd have to ask myself if I was watching the wrong channel.

Tom Brokaw said afterward that the Republicans heard Bush say the things they want him to say, while the Democrats were impressed by John Kerry. I agree. I was trying to picture some of the neo-cons that I know listening to Bush- and I suspect he is all they heard.

On the other hand, John Kerry was intelligent, fluent, his body language was comfortable and focused and on target. Bush- if his face had been flushed he could have passed for being slightly inebriated. He slouched, he smirked, he repeated - and repeated - -and repeated- his key words, he very often did not address a single pont that John Kerry had made.

But yes. I can believe that those who think Bush is on the right track STILL think he is on the right track.
