I liked Kerry’s answer on gays, and the Other JFK reference. I do disagree with him on abortion, but the desperation and poverty that leads a woman to commit such an act is only getting worse under Bush. Did Bush just insult the entire media? :eek: ---

John Kerry has stolen Bush sr. gestures and Bush looks like Chevy Chase. On topic I think Kerry is doing a good job of getting the specifics out. He’s making good use of his time. And Bush makes a terrible attempt at a zinger with the mod. :rolleyes: ---

“The Presidential Debate, brought to you by Blue Cross, Blue Shield, if we’re good enough for Kerry, we’re good enough for you” have the debates become so boring that they have to resort to product placement?
