Debate Results Plus

Another debate season has come and gone. I must say, I wasn't disappointed by either candidate in general. Clearly there are very real differences between these two people, and differences in how they believe they should govern.

I happen to side with Bush on most the issues. I also happen to believe Bush is sincere and motivated through principle rather than politics.

I also happen to, uh, not think that about Kerry.

Anyway, goof for Bush on the Osama line, the MSM will be playing that repeatedly over the next couple of days. Serious gaff by Kerry on outing Cheney's daughter. Even the media room gasped. Once again Kerry seems to simply be missing facts. He is just not clear on the state of the world. He either intentionally misleads, or is mistaken.

1. Finally he corrected his $200 billion spent error, how'd that make Edwards feel.
2. He doesn't understand exactly why 5% of the crates are inspected.(it comprises what is deemed high risk)
3. He is lost on the number of jobs lost. (500k vs 1.6 million)
4. He actually contradicted the moderator on the number of illegals entering the country from Mexico (8k vs 4k)
5. He claimed his heath care plan would cover everybody. (patently false)

He enjoyed a big bounce from the first debate which has been receding ever since, and I'd guess it will continue receding.

Incidentally, anybody else notice how Bush, rather than pushing aside or alienating our allies, has asked NATO to get more involved in Afghanistan. Two countries have been vocally opposed, you'll never guess who. France and Germany. Who is Kerry pandering to?
