Oct. 9th, 2004 11:13 amIn case you missed it, here's the transcript of the second presidential debate.
Most people are calling it a tie. I'd be inclined to do the same. What struck me was the impression that Bush was trying to bully the crowd into his views--he was yelling most of the time.
Here's Wonkette's take on the matter.

Oct. 9th, 2004 11:25 amOh, and in case you missed it, this was the most surreal quote of the debate:
"We've got battling green eye shades."
Guess who said that.

Oct. 9th, 2004 11:26 amMan Finds Police Tracking Device Inside His Car
An investigation of a suspected drug dealer has left Harford County sheriffs with a lot of explaining to do.
Their case against an Edgewater man was derailed last month when the man discovered he was being tracked by authorities.
WBAL-TV 11 News reporter Noel Tucker said the man under investigation hired an attorney who finally returned the tracking device that the sheriff's department had placed on his client. But the process did not go well and after several twists and turns, the attorney has now hired himself an attorney.

Because let me tell you, I haven't done a goddamned thing.

Oct. 9th, 2004 10:17 pmParity in Style, Contrast in Substance
There were two politicians at or near the top of their game on the stage Friday night, and the effect was striking.
In the second campaign debate, President Bush sharpened his performance considerably over his first encounter with Democrat John F. Kerry, the result being rough parity between the candidates on stylistic grounds. That put their differences on substance -- dramatically different governing priorities, and starkly different responses to whether the country is on the right course at home and abroad -- on even more vivid display.
An evening of tough and well-stated questions from undecided Missouri voters in the "town hall" format succeeded in laying bare more clearly than at any time this campaign season the essential choice facing voters on Nov. 2. In impassioned and plain-spoken language, Bush defended his course on Iraq, tax cuts and the right way to improve the economy, and said it deserved validation with a second term. In equally blunt terms, Kerry asked voters to perform a "gut check" and ask themselves if Bush's policies or his words -- which the Democrat labeled "Orwellian" -- held any credibility.

Oct. 9th, 2004 10:46 pmConservative TV Group to Air Anti-Kerry Film
The conservative-leaning Sinclair Broadcast Group, whose television outlets reach nearly a quarter of the nation's homes with TV, is ordering its stations to preempt regular programming just days before the Nov. 2 election to air a film that attacks Sen. John F. Kerry's activism against the Vietnam War, network and station executives familiar with the plan said Friday.
Sinclair's programming plan, communicated to executives in recent days and coming in the thick of a close and intense presidential race, is highly unusual even in a political season that has been marked by media controversies.
Sinclair has told its stations — many of them in political swing states such as Ohio and Florida — to air "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," sources said. The film, funded by Pennsylvania veterans and produced by a veteran and former Washington Times reporter, features former POWs accusing Kerry — a decorated Navy veteran turned war protester — of worsening their ordeal by prolonging the war. Sinclair will preempt regular prime-time programming from the networks to show the film, which may be classified as news programming, according to TV executives familiar with the plan.
