Comments: My Debate Thoughts
I've always considered the power of persuasion one of the most important qualities in a President. (Of course, using that power rightly is fairly important too!)
That may be why Edwards is so appealing, and seems (at least to me) Presidential.

You make two great points! Power of persuasion and the ability to use it "Presidentially."
I think Bush is pretty vulnerable on both fronts. Which to me seems to make questions about the war valid -- even though you can't turn back the clock on the war and it's debatable whether you'd really want to, it's the future's problems that matter and I think a lot of the population views Bush (or his cabinet secretaries) as the boy who cried wolf.

Hey Chris, which one of the moveon.org ads did you like the best? Found at http://www.bushin30seconds.org
I personally like the animated one.

Your analysis is interesting, Chris, but who are you? Is there any personal info on you, or anything about your credentials?

Just a Democratic Party Activist with a journalist background analyzing this race. Anything else you want to know in particular?
I'm 23. Been voting since '98, been active in Georgia politics since '01. Ran unsuccessfully for state Representative (nominated in Dem primary, lost in general election) in '02.

Cool, you can run for US Senate in 7 years, since you might be the last brave Democrat left in Georgia. Hold down the Democratic fort down there.
