    Good luck with that! :P
    They both have their points and they both get off the subject.
    I'm not entirely sure how much impact the debates will have on the American people anyway.

      I'll say this... it's the best ping pong match since the quale / gore / stockdale debates!

      I'm waiting for one of them to throw a shoe!!
      In every organization, there will always be one person who knows what's going on. This person must be fired.

                Not taking into account anything they have actually SAID....but IMO, Senator Kerry looks much more confident than President Bush.

                  Apperantly the only issue facing the United States is Iraq and terrorism. I guess things such as healthcare and the econmy aren't important

                    The topic tonight was supposed to center around foreign policy and homeland security, that's why the questions and answers have revolved around those subjects. There are more debates in October though, so I'm sure those topics will come up then.

                      One thing I have found interesting is that some of the points (accusations, really) that Kerry has made were refuted with hard information (a.k.a. percentages of funding increases, etc).
                      Latest example was the funding for securing "loose" nuclear materials worldwide. Kerry accused Bush of cutting that funding whereas Bush states it was actually increased 35%.
                      Spin on numbers (Bush) or lack of planning (Kerry)?

                            What would be the reason for that?

                              CSPAN has a constant split screen.
                              Basically, the news channels said they were going to use whatever cameras angles they want. And it looks like they are.
