Bush, Kerry face off on Iraq

This has to be one of the most one-sided presidential debates ever. Bush keeps muttering the same prepackaged bit about Kerry being inconsistent over and over. Kerry, surprisingly, pretty clearly states how his position, his one position, has always been consistent, and Bush responds by repeating his script just with more emphasis. Kerry seems less petty than he often did during the early Dem primary debates when he was far behind Dean and could only catch up by misquoting and shoveling the shit. I might even be able to vote for Kerry with a clear conscience after this one—especially with Ralph Nader's continuing ballot-access issues. Nader would be wise to follow Alexander Cockburn's advice.
