The sun will rise in the West tomorrow - I'm going to agree with The King. It is common courtesy to not bring other candidates kids into the fray. They did not ask for the spotlight, their Dads did (in some cases Moms). There were other gay folks that Kerry could have used, it was bad form, and a real fumble to use Mary Cheney.

Having said that, I believe that once again Kerry won the debate. Bush's big fumble of the night was when he said that he never uttered the words, "I'm not concerned about him (OBL)". Tough to say when we have taped evidence. Oh, well. Only 19 days to go and (hopefully) this will be over and the 4 yr. b*tchfest can begin. My fervent hope is that we don't see a repeat of 2000. The race keeps tightening so, we'll see.
