65. Vote Bartlet.


We chose to watch the first presidential debate tonight, hoping to lose some of the fear we feel about the up-coming election. I expected to be angered and inspired, but I did not expect to find myself laughing out loud. (McCain comparing the USA to Ireland in order to make a point was the biggest laugh for me).
I don't know how the Republicans did it, but they managed to find someone to fit Bush's glass slipper perfectly. McCain is possibly an even scarier prospect.
There really is no contest between these two. One is animated, the other a puppet. One is sincere and intelligent, the other jumps from tenuous sound-bite to outright bollocks.
Obama is the president the world needs the USA to have. McCain is the president we're going to get.
