BRIEF RECAP
More thoughts later...
--Bush did not help himself, nor did he do anything to slow Kerry's momentum. A lot more smirking this time around, even a "woo!" at one point. More false-start responses this time around than in the previous two debates put together.
--Where the fuck was the environment? Thanks Bob!
--Kerry dramatically outclassed Bush on health care, social security (the return of "2-1=4"), taxes and certainly on jobs. Bush accused Kerry of having zero medicare-related accomplishments in his tenure in the Senate, and Kerry produced one to refute the charge. However, Bush could not produce a single program of his related to jobs, only pointing in vain to his tax cut and, laughably, the No Child Left Behind act.
--Kerry's invoking of scripture was a bit too much for most of the secular college audience in Giovanni's, but with me putting on my pretending-to-be-from-middle-America hat, it felt as if he hit good notes with such references.
--What will the punditry make a big deal about: Bush's claiming never to have said that catching Osama "wasn't that much of a priority" or the Congressional Black Caucus comment. I'd point out that "That's not true! I met with them once or twice!" isn't much of a defense, given the context.
More later, when I find a better internet connection.
