*Ding ding* Round two finished Friday night in St. Louis between President Bush and Senator John Kerry.
The prez’ went on the offensive immediately, displaying more passion and charisma than during the first debate. Kerry was… well, in fine Kerry-form, looking “presidential” and sounding like the senator he is.
The town-hall format was actually quite good, as host Charles “Charlie” Gibson delegated informative questions to members of the audience. With lines like “you can run but can’t hide” from President Bush, and “weapons of mass deception” from Kerry, the debate seemed very much like an old-fashioned political boxing match -- many verbal jabs, feints, and yes, ducks.
As a Bush fan, I was proud of my man as he stood his ground and refused to vacillate. Kerry “looked” presidential, but that was about it. This wasn’t a true knockout blow, but I rather think Bush did better than last time, and came across great.
