Traffic was up, but it was the kind of traffic I tend to get for big political events. Len, I do recall hearing him say something along those lines, and thought at the time the number was in error. I am not sure it is the kind of thing that will matter all that much, however. Eric,

Thanks. Traffic was up, but it was the kind of traffic I tend to get for big political events.

Len,

I do recall hearing him say something along those lines, and thought at the time the number was in error. I am not sure it is the kind of thing that will matter all that much, however.

This was completely wrong as the per cent of the Iraqi population in the insurgent areas is 25 %, not the per cent that could easily vote in the election in January. Did anyone else notice this?

All Kerry was saying is that, all things being equal, it's better to do things that make us look good rather than doing things that make us look bad. There was only about five minutes devoted to homeland security, an area in which Bush is horrendously weak. If, for instance, Ike were president I don't think he would release illegal aliens who were from terrorist-sponsoring countries into the U.S. When faced with the possibility that <a href="http://www.command-post.org/gwot/2_archives/015200.html">terrorists were infiltrating the U.S. via our borders</a> or that <a href="http://www.command-post.org/gwot/2_archives/015593.html">Al-Qaida is recruiting local U.S. gang ties</a> I don't think Ike's version of Tom Ridge would make the ludicrous claim that there was <a href="http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/002014.html#002014">no sign of terrorists trying to cross border</a>. Perhaps during the other debates we'll have two minutes of sputtering as Bush attempts to apologize away his utter failure to protect the homeland.
