Hello,
Surprisingly enough I haven't seen anything about the election (for the US that is) taking place in November yet. I'm a very political person so of course I watched the debate last night on all major networks in the US. Now speaking from a Democratic side (which I am so there may be a little bias) I thought Kerry did an excellent job last night, his points were firm, he didn't stutter, he did pause and he didn't make a fool out of himself. However on the other hand we have Bush that pretty much sucked during the debate. I know that Kerry is a much more skilled debater than Bush but Bush pretty much made a fool of himself. His facial reactions were not something I would expect from the President of the United States and of course, he promised more of the same old.
Now because I am just trying to focus on the debate and not a thousand issues and policies between the two, let us examine how the debate went. Now I am one for debates I really am, and I'm a strong support of Democrats and Kerry but this debate wasn't the best presidential debate I've ever seen. Throughout the night, the continued to rattle on about the war in Iraq and constantly ragging on each other. Now where I come from, they is NOT a debate. A presidential debate is to make a point and discuss what the future leaders of our country or any other country would like to accomplish or change during their term. I feel neither candidate did either of these. They should have focused a fraction of the time what they really did into what has already been done into something more productive such as discussing what they feel they can contribute to the country.
I hope the next two debates between Bush and Kerry don't go down the same path as this one but focusing more on what each can contribute to the country and what they would like to change.
That's my two cents, what's yours?
