I'm watching on C-SPAN, Leher is giving instructions, which is WAY more informative than the pundits on the other channel. It's kinda cool actually. Except the cameraman behind him in the enclosure is fidgiting too much.

He made the wives hall monitors to tattle on disruptors. I thought he was joking until he said he wasn't.

This is kinda cool.

No, apparently you don't....

Two responses and he's already repeated two talking points.

Worth noting, Kerry watches Bush, listens. Bush fidgeted and looked around, almost seemed to be making faces (but he always looks like that, I can't say he was)

I wonder if they're going to talk about anything other than the war on terrorism in this debate, I hope Americans realise that they should not elect nor replace a President based solely on their promises or efforts in this war. Yes it's an important factor, but fighting terrorism is not the only role of a commander-in-chief.

Personally I wouldn't want either of these guys in control of my country. Bush repeats himself and keeps ranting on about the greater good and various other of his supporting arguments. Kerry, as he is doing now, keeps mentioning his involvements in the war, and how crap Bush is. Just me being all cynical and British, or do others share this view?
