Last Thursday's debate

[Scot]

Who do you think won?
--
I think Kerry is clearly a better speaker than Bush, who seemed a little unprepared. However, I better public speaker will not neccessarily make a better president...

[Lynnet]

Kerry is definitely a superiour speaker/debater. I was very disappointed, however, at how much he focused on bashing Bush's record with Iraq, etc. instead of discussing his supposed plans.

[Scot]

Yes. Despite what he says about the war, I think he completely opposes it. I think he is only going along with it because so many Americans (and important voters) think it's right.

Dont forget to watch the vice presidential debates today at nine

[H-Zence]

Rather than start a new thread, I think we can just discuss the V.P. debates here.

-------------------------------------

Unlike the first presidential debate, I feel the vice presidential debate was fairly balanced; however, Cheney did strike a few harsh (and truthful) blows to his Democratic opponent, saying that he has the worst attendance record of all senators, and that the vice presidential debate was the first time he'd ever met Edwards in person.

Of course, that was later proven to be inaccurate...

Cheney was very harsh, he's a very experienced politcian and it showed. He was very calm and collected almost too smooth throughout the whole thing. They kept ripping into each other more than it seemed necessary. Edwards looked nervous for most of the debate. He finally got into the swing of things after the questions about homosexuality, when all Cheney had to say was thank you for the kind words about my family. I dont know how that man (Cheney) can stand with the president who's trying to make constitutional admendments against homosexual marirages, when its a topic so close to heart that he doesnt agree with. Also i didnt like the moderator, she seemed very bitchy to both parties
