I watched the debate and both the candidates came off well. I'm partial to George Bush, but I have to admit that Kerry came off better than I thought he would. I still don't agree with his claims that he never changes his position. He also constantly degrades the coalition and its sacrifice and talks about how he'd get a "better coalition" even though France and Germany have openly stated they wouldn't join us no matter who wins.
Anyone can talk the talk. I'm voting for the man who can walk the walk. Who is going to relentlessly pursue terrorists, based on their past record? I guess that sort of gives away who my vote will be for in November.

Bush has definitely proved he'd walk the walk. My concerns with Bush is his lack of attention to the southern border and outsourcing.
I watched both debates, Bush did not do well in the first, the second however was much better for Bush. He attacked Kerry on his senate record, which is miserable, but did not go far enough. Kerry has missed two thirds of the senate floor votes, I don't care if he attended "committee meetings", that does not mean jack! The son of a sea serpent is indecisive, can't committ when it's time for an up or down vote! Is that the kind of President you want? I'm glad Bush was in office on 9/11, we were attacked and he was not going to wait for approval from the U.N. security council when Saddam had France, China & Russia in his corner. Four more years of Bush is fine with me!
Zorba and Mantis- Amen! Bush has overcome all the obstacles put in his way- 911; Backstabbing "Allies" (France/Germany/Russia); All the democratic rhetoric calling him everything from a dunce to a draftdodger.... And he's withstood it and brought the economy back and created jobs...
I agree he hasn't addressed the border issues- but I think it's a "yet" situation... there's a lot to be done, but Kerry would be way to busy getting coiffed and having his nails done to do much about it.
