(pardon my political ignorance)

Yup, televised debates are why Nixon lost in '60.

Then again, those were the very first televised debates, no? They're still somewhat important, but unless there's a HUGE blunder, I don't think the debates would sway too many people.

Effective disagreement?

oh my, Kerry is picking up the pace and beginning to really dig into Bush. Bush is getting really nervous, you can see it in his eyes. Bush is slouching, Kerry is standing straight as a president should. Body language says a lot!

so is bush, hes just a tiny little stuttering bush.

MIKE

nourdmrolNMT1 what can we do to convince you that Bush isn't the right guy?

not much.

read the thread, i spread the love.

i just prefer bush. and this debate is funny.

MIKE

he cares more about voting for party than voting for policies? just a though

bush got a big bump against gore, but of course, if his brother hadn't cheated in FA, bush jr would never have been president.

Jesus Christ, I can't believe people still whine/believe that...

When they came up at the beginning and shook hands, it looked that way. maybe 5-6" difference, but that's a wild guess.

bush just called Putin by his first name. that is just not right man.

Bilateral means two sides, not necessarily two parties. Why can't there be a side against NK having nuclear weapons, which includes China, and the otherside, NK wanting nuclear weapon.

Oh man, nice way to finish that off Kerry!

I'm curious why he should justify who he is voting for?

Please don't go Bush on me. I never said justify. I was merely asking for opinions. I like to learn to and grow intellectually. Maybe he has a great point I never thought about. Thats all.

all you libs must be listening to a different debate than i am :roll:
