Presidential Debate 1: ctd

1. Did President Bush ‘Sandbag’ Kerry At The Debate? If indeed this was a planned tactic by the Bush team, they already gleaned the information they needed... and set Kerry up in the process...to finish the race with strong momentum and the Kerry people can now do little to ‘adjust’ their game plan to compensate for the setback this brilliant maneuver has created.(opinioneditorials.com)

4. Debate Mystery: Did Kerry have Cheat Sheet? (drudgereport)
5. John Kerry Violated Debate Rules (UPDATED with Close-Up Still) (indcjournal)
6. Polish President disses Democrat President wannabe: "It's sad that a Senator with twenty years of experience does not appreciate Polish sacrifice... I don't think it's a question of ignorance. One thing has to be said very clearly: this Coalition is not just the United States, Great Britain and Australia, but there's also contribution of Polish, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Spanish soldiers who died in Iraq. It's immoral to not see this involvement we undertook because we believe that we have to fight terrorism together, that we need to show international solidarity, that Saddam Hussein is a danger to the world.

7. Democrats don't fool anyone in post-debate e-mail punditry: Funny, in more than 200 e-mails, not a single citizen-pundit thought Bush had won. Definitely a reason to pause and reflect.If only it were real. In a first for a presidential campaign, Democratic activists decided to fire up their computers and flood the media with their post-debate point of view, except some of them were over-eager and sent their messages before the debate had ended. Fair and balanced, Democrat style. They report to help you decide. (chicagotribune)

9. Like the draft? Vote Kerry: Because if John Kerry is elected president, there is going to be a mass exodus from the U.S. military services. (worldnetdaily)
10. Iraqis, vets know about freedom: "Khalid told me he thinks Americans aren't getting "all the facts." He mentions that over 600 schools have opened, that 150 new newspapers are now published each day, and that Iraqis have clean water to drink.
    "What you see represents what 1 percent of the population is trying to do to the rest of us. The media should show both the good and the bad." (denverpost.com)
