Well, Bush is definitely on the defensive right now. That’s the downside of being the sitting pres. You have to defend your policy. IMHO, Bush is better than the last debate but not by a whole lot. He sounds defensive and angry. Kerry is boring, but better by comparison. Kerry does need to be more specific on his plans. Bush is bashing the inspectors. Weren’t they right on the WMD issue? That means trusting them isn’t so naive. ---
