number two

debate number two just ended. i have to say it was less entertaining to watch. i felt like neither candidate really answered some of the questions, and i heard a lot of the same stuff they spoke about in the first debate. w seemed more together this time, which probably indicates more practice with whatever coaching staff he has, not a better handle on the issues, or more skill as a public speaker.

i still think w is evil, and that his behavior tonight demonstrated a lack of respect for the moderator, the audience, and the Senator. he outright ignored charlie gibson several times, speaking right over him, and i thought that was disgraceful. that is not the guy i want to be the public face of this country. can you just imagine him at a summit?

in work news, we got christmas carol scripts and are working feverishly on new ideas for that show. the guys is going well - several people in the talkback last night said they were going to immediately buy season subscriptions based on last night's performance. how encouraging is that?

tomorrow i go to the farm to ride horses all morning and afternoon, riding trails with groups that come for a 45 minute horse ride. after i shower and get lunch, i drive to chicago to see a clockwork orange and to go clubbing at neo. should be fun.

i'm gonna finish watching nightline and go to bed.

yes-- he had more practice, and more energy, but no better handle on the issues, and still came off like a petulant kid. and seriously, when he bum-rushed the moderator, i thought he was going to ask kerry if he wanted to talk this outside. or arm-wrestle.

a friend of mine asked me yesterday, "how can anyone still be undecided?" and i just don't know. it's been a pretty polarizing campaign, as far as i'm concerned.
