> Bush keeps bringing up the ICC as an example of an obviously good decision he made that was unpoular with Europe and the rest of the world. Kerry (probably wisely) isn’t challenging this. I’m curious whether this is something that resonates with undecided voters. Do they know or care about this issue? If so, do they agree with the Pres?

Well, as a still-somewhat undecided voter, it is not a very large issue for me either way. I happen to agree with Bush on this one.

However, the main debate over the ICC is a year or two back. It hasn’t gotten much play since. Heck, this is the first time (well, I suppose last week was) that I’ve heard anyone bring it up in a long time. It would almost like Kerry bringing up Kyoto.

“Rumors on the internets”?!

Please tell me that he’s purposely trying to look folksy, and he’s not really that poorly spoken.

He sounds like an old man. Internets indeed.

Bush brought up the unmanned planes. I thought those were part of Clintons army.

Bush better watch out with his cutting off the moderator. Sounded to me like Gibson was about to bring up a related followup.
