I didn’t finish TAing till about 9:50-ish tonight, and I only briefly listened to the debate on the radio (I heard Bush respond to something by mentioning the ICC).
But after a very quick trip around the blogsphere, I’ve got one major question–What about Israel?!?!?!
How can you have a debate on foreign policy and not mention Israel!?!?!?!?!?
I’m completely baffled….
The Kerry campaign is now trying to paint the President as a “Flip Flopper” and “inconsistent”.
Er….sounds like they’re employing the old playground strategy of
“I am rubber you are glue, everything you say bounces off me and sticks to you”
The Bush campaign was smart and came out of the gates and successfully labled and defined Kerry in the public’s mind. Hence Kerry’s label a a flip-flopper (heck, he got that label during the primary–and not the GOP).
So I think it’s a pretty desperate move for the democrats to start labeling Bush as a flip-flopper (which when compared to their candidate, Bush pales in comparison.) And as for inconsistent, this is the president who you previously labled as “stubborn” because of his consistency on certain issues.
You can’t win with some people…can you?
An aside: Ed Gillespie and Terry McAuliffe are arguing on TV right now. McAuliffe is a total blowhard.
A McAuliffe quote: “We can’t have someone in the WH who changes policy based on the headlines and poll numbers on a daily basis”–didn’t Dick Morris say Clinton often made decisions based on poll numbers during his terms? Go figure….
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like there’s more of a debate over everything that’s going to occur tonight than there will be at the debate itself.
Networks balk at Bush-Kerry debate agreement
Combine that with the talking heads who have been all over the news about the debate (I’ve been hitting the mute button a lot when I try to watch the news)–I think there’s been more debate around the “formal debate” than will be seen tonight.
(excuse the self promotion and bragging, but I’m just trying to stay in a good mood)
I began Weight Watchers exactly 9 months ago (12/30/03-today) and have since dropped exactly 59.0lbs (I went to a meeting this AM).

That is all.
