Neocon, look, one reporter recognizes the gravity of last nights debate:

Boston Massacre

How will this checkmate pan out? Gore did a great job last night. He was clearly the better prepared and more qualified of the two. He held back from taking too many blows to Dubya's pretty face and didn't even get close to a low blow. Last night's debate bored everyone, including Bush, to tears. At the next debate, Gore will increase the intensity of his attack. He will begin to corner Dubya on a whole range of issues that Bush would like to dodge. For example, abortion. Bush got away with it last night because Gore had to be nice. All that Gore has to do is wait for Bush to go negative, which he must to if he wants a chance at the Presidency, then turn all the dogs lose on him. Just like Gore did to Bradley.

hello Neo~

am looking forward to the next debates

I always vote, but am always in a quandary

no one ever fully represents my beliefs, so I have to define my most important issues then gauge if the candidate has the power and political savvy to carry through their plan

taxes and education for me

I don't expect a candidate to be 'perfect', I'm not

they can make mistakes too, I do

I also know they need to have enough political connects to have clout

I do however expect our president to have strong leadership, basic integrity and my best interests at heart

I hate the way the press delves into and reports every little infraction candidates have made in their lives. it clouds the issues and drives qualified people from running

but that is the politics of today

sigh....

prolly won't be able to keep up with this thread, too many posts, but wanted to say hi

foxy
