The Goboyfriend said just now, “I was voting against Bush, but now I’m voting for Kerry. He’s really earned my respect in the last few weeks.” ---

The “National Journal” called Kerry the most liberal. I’m glad you got a credible source. :rolleyes: ---

Kerry’s “the most liberal senator” so I guess everything he said is voided now. ---

Bush is going to that dumbass “most liberal senator” canard? Talk about a non-sequitor. ---

Did Bush just say “Senator Kennedy” instead of Kerry as #1 liberal? I sure heard Kennedy. ---

Named Kerry the most liberal senator of all, “…and that’s saying something in that bunch.” Hah, yeeaaahh… because the US Senate is one of the most liberal groups in world politics today. :wally ---

Kerry, would you like to answer the question about tort reform, or would you like to attack Bush? ---

What was that line Kerry had earlier? "I’ll tell you what will be different about the War on Terror if I’m president: Intelligence! \ I’ll listen to the intelligence community!" Bwa-ha-ha-ha! ---

Overall, they both seem to be doing quite well. Which probably does more good for Kerry because he was largely unknown to many Americans, and they now see that he is not a “weak waffler with no positions”, which is the accusation that has hurt him the most up to now. ---

UNless anybody knows of a web feed… www.c\*\*-\*\*[span.org](http://span.org) is great for having live feeds for political events like this. They had the split screen for the last debate accessible over their Net as well. I love C-Span & I don’t even have cable.
