Cast your vote after the debate

Here’s the list of online polls we all need to visit. And don’t forget this one.

I’ve read that a lot of pundits are predicting bush will redeem himself tonight and undo the didsaster of last week. At the risk of raising expectations for Kerry and being very embarrassed in a couple of hours, I’ll predict that Kerry will win once again. I can’t believe they could take bush away for a few days and transform him from the stuttering, smirking chimp he was last week into a knight in shining armor.

I’ve also seen him giving speeches the past few days and he’s been powerful but surly, angry and nasty. I saw no evidence of the face of a uniter, of a man who can inspire confidence and warmth. Can he really change that persona at the drop of a dime and project himself in an endearing and inspiring way? We all saw him disintegrate under the pressure of being naked in front of the world, without Karen or Karl to prop him up. Has he grown into an adult over the past week? I’m skeptical.

Which face will bush show? What is his real face? Does he even have a face? Or is he just the empty pathetic shell we all saw last Thursday? I think we all know where I stand on the subject.
