Damn politics.

[kellinator]

So I specifically planned to be out of the house last night because I just knew that if I watched the debate, the evening would end with my foot in the television. But after hearing y'all's comments on it, I'm kinda wondering if I should have checked it out anyway. My desire not to have an aneurysm isn't really a valid reason to opt out of the political process.

...On the other hand, I just read some more post-debate analysis and now I want to go soak my head, so maybe I did make the right decision after all. Fair warning: I expect to be damn near insufferable for the next month.

I wouldn't go so far as to say he cleaned Bush's clock, but I think Kerry got the better end of the debate, partially because he had lower expectations to exceed - which he did admirably - and partially because he was clear, concise, and did very little of the "overexplaining" that his detractors have spun into flip-flopping.


That said, there were no knockout punches or clock-cleaning.
