7:31 - This space is reserved for comments about the upcoming debate. I've had my soup, have my Coke and my bowl of grapes. Now... I need my cabana boy to feed them too me. Peeling isn't necessary.

7:52 - sshivell just said that Teresa H-K looks like Cruella DeVille. I think I will have to pen a song later this evening.

7:55 - How do you be certified as undecided?

8:05 - First question - Kerry is "wishy-washy." Is it possible that any President can actually create jobs?

8:13 - DRINK! "Win the Peace!"

8:14 - Kerry, how do we know that Osama isn't already dead?

8:18 - They are holding to the light system tonight and are not going over time.

8:22 - Inspections went on for 12 years... DRINK! "Win the peace!" 3 times...

8:25 - OK... flip flop - he just said let Iraq sanctions go but sanctions won't work for Iran (Kerry.)

8:29 - The Draft - DRINK! hehehehe. W - why are our troops writing home and asking their family to send them cleaning supplies for their weapons? You need to be supplying them adequately.

8:30 - Bush needs to calm down and not completely override the moderator. Kerry said that Wes Clark won the war in Kosovo. The fighting has not stopped in the former Yugoslavia. And why is it that a Democrat can win a war but a Republican must win the peace?

8:38 - Kerry said that Bush is underfunding Homeland Security. Bush said they added $20 billion to the Homeland Security. Kerry said that it wasn't about $'s. *blink.. blink blink*

8:41 - What John Kerry is writing on his paper? Bunnies? Halliburton? At least he didn't bring up Vietnam tonight.

8:44 - John Kerry and John Edwards are both lawyers. No wonder I don't like either of them.

8:47 - RickPinNC said that Kerry's epitaph would be 'But I have a plan....!'

8:50 - Good question - the man is nailing Bush on his spending but not having money to pay for it.

8:52 - Spending on the military is the new buzzword. Remember when politicians would justify a tax increase on spending more money for the children? And I was going to say something else but I forgot.

8:55 - Kerry tucks his chin and lifts his eyes when he talks.

9:00 - Fuzzy math, Kerry? Please - that is so 2000. Get current.

9:01 - Here comes the green question. Bush said that he supports urban renewal policies. Does he also support cities that go in and take out personal homes to build new shopping centers and have more tax revenue?

9:07 - Next drinking game, I'm using "I have a plan." The debate will be much more entertaining....

9:11 - Miss O'Hara said we are having "Wetland Bunny Fufloojas" for dinner.

9:13 - I agree - the Patriot Act needs to be reformed.. or better yet, scrap most of it to just let law enforcement share information.

9:15 - Stem cell question. No comment other than to say "balance science and ethics."

9:19 - Supreme Court vacancy question. W said he wasn't telling.. "Strict intrepation of the Constitution." Conservative judges tend to be strict constructionists. The Constitution says what it means and means what it says.

9:25 - Kerry just said that we should provide poor people with all of their Constitutional access to education.. and all their options. Translation - we need government funded abortion. Bush plainly states that government should not pay for abortion as well as create a "culture of life."

9:29 - Bush is walking with a Texas swagger. Last question asks if Bush has any regrets about any of the decisions he made. Load-ded! And showing Gibson's bias by placing this question last and allowing Kerry to hammer away on Bush's record as the last memory voters will take away.

Win the Peace - DRINK!

9:34 - Closing statements. "I have a plan" - 5 times. I would so be toast if that were my drinking phrase.. and I were drinking anything other than coke.

9:41 - The Fashionista reports that the First Lady's outfit is awesome. Very pretty and classy.. great shawl. Decision - Bush just because his performance was so much better. But to come back, he will need to win the debate next week.
