I’m Daniel Smith, and I approved this blog posting
I can’t wait for the rest of the presidential debates to take place. I’m hoping that Cheney shows his true (mean) self. Not that Edwards needs help. I’m expecting Edwards to more than hold his own.
If you are so inclined to listen to the first debate again, you can get it from the iTunes store. It’s 90 minutes long, but if you take out all of the times Bush stares into the camera (doing his best “deer in the headlights” impression), I think it can be heard in about 50 … The SNL take on the debate was a hoot. (”coming in on Saturdays… it’s really haaard”)
I don’t usually post about politics, preferring to read people like Maureen Dowd of the New York Times (always fun to see her shred the GOP). I will say that I have a concern about this election - and that would be Nader. Ralph would serve this country best by butting out. Of course he won’t, but my fear is that he will take just enough votes away from Kerry to tilt the election in favor of W. That would be sad indeed for us Dems. It would be a nice “October Surprise” for Ralph to pull out.
You know, I really miss Clinton. I thought he did a great job. I’ll vote for Kerry, but like many, it’s more of a “OMG, don’t re-elect Bush” vote than an expression of “yes! I really want this guy!”. Clinton was the last candidate for whom I had real enthusiasm.
