Kerry hits Bush with the uniter/divider angle. It’s a shame really. I wanted Bush to bring it up. ☹ ---

“Uniter and not a divider” Thank you for saying that Kerry!!! That makes my heart sing that you’re calling Bush on those words from the 2000 election. ---

Good move in invoking McCain, Senator. ---

Bush just keeps repeating himself. No child left behind, we cut taxes for the middle class, we created jobs, blah blah blah. Did he miss Kerry’s rebuttals or does he hope the voters did? ---

They should change the name to NO REFERENCE TO NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND LEFT BEHIND. Bush is really flailing on this question. He needs to stop bringing up the war on terror and quit pounding the podium (no dirty jokes please) ---

Kerry just said, “My friend John McCain . . .” Give it up! You already picked your running mate! But it’s smart for him to keep reaching out to the liberal Republican voters . . . Bush just complained about Washington being partisan! 😛😛😛 George, if you wanted to live in a one-party state you should’ve stayed in Texas! You move to civilization, you gotta take the good with the good! ---

Bush is trying to convince us that the United States was as divided in 2000 as it is now. No one’s buying that. What a stupid question about their wives. ---

Bush has claimed supernatural powers for himself again. He can “feel people praying” for him. He has previously claimed to “Look into the soul” of Putin. It seems like the Holy Trinity will need to be expanded. ---

Stop hitting the goddamn podium! Nice comeback from Bush about the scowling thingy. I know Laura dominates him at night. You know it, too. ---
