Watching Kerry reminded me of my dad's phrasing for blowhards:
"If you can't razzle 'em with facts, dazzle 'em with b-------."
I didn't get to watch the debate --- but it sounds like Kerry might have been more smooth and suave about saying he'll do nothing much about terrorism, and that he'll turn over our sovreignty to the UN. I don't care how slick someone is about things they are dead wrong on. Televised debates are great with someone like Reagan who wasn't nervous with a camera ---- but if I put myself in the place of someone up there on that stage --- if they're shy at all -- or not big on seeking a lot of attention --- they aren't going to do as well as someone who likes the cameras.
