I remember thinking about the VP debate, "As long as Cheney doesn't actually use the phrase 'whipper-snappers,' and as long as Edwards doesn't come into the debate with a ribbon and a giant lollypop, it's going to be a draw."

best line "need some wood"? hahah

Kerry won the second prez debate handily. Dubya came off as an angry, grimacing, winking jerk.
Furthermore, Dubya's worst moment was when he interrupted the moderator and angrily blurted out his opinions about Tony Blair.

Kerry was right. Countries ARE leaving the coalition. Britain is scaling back its troops.

I was wondering what the hell happened when Bush brought up the Dred Scott case in talking about what kind of Supreme Court justices he would appoint. I was like, WTF, is he going to bring up the constitutionality of the acquisition of the Louisiana Purchase in the next debate? Where did this come from?

Then paperwight of fairshot.org chimed in on another blog I read, bopnews.com. He claims that it's wingnut code for anti-abortion. In other words, abortion = slavery, anti-abortion activists = abolitionists, Scott v. Sanford = Roe v. Wade. So Bush was sending code to the fundies about how he won't appoint justices who would uphold Roe v. Wade. It's insane, but on a political level, I see how it makes sense. And I can't even imagine any other explanation for Bush bringing up Dred Scott in that scenario.

Kerry clearly won the second debate, but because Bush didn't blow it as badly as the first one, the media will be portraying Bush as doing much better. Bush clearly still has anger management problems and can't admit mistakes, and he still came off as a major-league whiner, whereas Kerry was calm and presidential. On content as opposed to style, Kerry was still good and Bush still stunk.
