So, here we are again in the midst of one of the greatest political battles in the history of the world. Something tells me that the fate of the universe could very well be decided by the decision that the people make. And the funny thing is, most people my age won't even vote and probably aren't even registered. Now that the debates are over, I would like to give a brief summary for the general public. Round One: Enter the middle-aged dragons. Kerry really looked sharp, not like the piece of driftwood I assumed he really was. Bush lived up to his hype; being one of the worst public speakers ever. The classic deer-in-headlights pregnant pause really caused him to lose much of this debate. Note to Kerry: Don't say anything ever about passing a global test when you mean something else. Don't do that ever, ever, EVER, ever ever ever ever. Not enough evers. Round 1.1: The dynamic duo's sidecar companions duke it out. Well, in this battle of Robin vs. Robin, I really think Cheney came out ahead. As annoyed and pissed off as he was, just the fact that he is SO much better at speaking than bush made him the winner. Edwards was good. A charming southerner just like Clinton. Just keep it in your pants damnit, and pay for dry cleaning if you don't. Round 2: Big Brother meets Town Hall. How 1984-ish. Lets pre-screen all questions and then cut off the questioners if the stray from the question. What? Are we afraid of making the candidates think on their feet? Would this cause an advantage for one? Yes, yes it would. Bush would look like a fucking moron if he had to improv. Pregnant pauses would abound. This was a bit more even. Bush definitely improved, but still, so many misleading statements. Check the facts. Each candidate totally BSed more than a few comments. That goes for each debate. Round 3: geriatric showdown at the ok corral. Ok, so neither candidate is geriatric, big deal, they are still older than I am. This was a frustrating debate. Kerry should by all rights have unleashed a total fury of facts and tidbits to destroy bush. But he didn't. He did defend himself well. Same for Bush, he did his usual smirks and monkey-like faces of disgust. Is anyone else bothered by those faces? I can't stand that shit. Anyways, that sums up the debates. I think Kerry did a good job solidifying his position. I would have like to seen more examples and more detailed versions of his plans, instead of just saying he has them, but he did well. The only positive of having bush around for four more years would be that...wait, nope can't think of anything let me check...nope sorry. Huh, usually I can find the positive in any situation, but somehow I am stumped when it comes to him. Odd. Oh well. In other news, the redsox are getting spanked in the alcs. Damn. DAMN.
