So, Mr. VP-to-be... Are you getting ready for the big VP debate?

Maybe you're right. I can't pass judgement because I'm a Kerry guy. It's just that most people (I think) already know Bush's mannerisms and don't expect much on that score.

Anyway, I thought Kerry was quite "presidential," if you will. I don't think anything except the final wrap-ups felt rehearsed or canned.

I went in with a pretty open mind on analyzing the debate... after 20 minutes, I gave up, regardless of what was said, Bush is a lousy speaker when the words aren't crafted for him. 4 years ago, I was scared as hell of sending someone like that into a meeting with Iran, China, or NKorea... and I still am.

If I were a world leader, I'd get pretty pissed if someone couldn't pronounce my name -- at least closely. Is that petty?

Then again, I've never had anyone mispronounce "Charlie."

If my name were "Vladuhmuhr" maybe I would cut folks some slack!
