Tidbits - 10/13/04

Tonight is the final Presidential Debate. Expectations are low for both candidates. Despite of the instant polls and the interference of the DNC, the President tied the first debate and won the second. Tonight's debate on domestic issues will be interesting. Can the President use his successes to outweigh the fear mongering and negativity of John Kerry? Tonight will tell the tale.

Did John Edwards go a little too far when he promised that John Kerry would make people like Christopher Reeves walk again? Yes, yes he did.

Here are some interesting items.

+The first debate in the Illinois Senate race took place last night in Springfield. Democratic front runner, Barack Obama, and Republican hand-picked sacrificial lamb, Alan Keyes debated the issues to a statewide radio audience.

There were no new revelations, but the debate contrasted the two men and their positions.

Keyes used his considerable knowledge of general issues to set a conservative agenda. If you listened closely to Obama, you only heard talking pints and positions provided by the DNC and the Kerry campaign. What does he really think about the issues? No one will know until he is in the Senate. If obeying record in Illinois is any indication it will be a far-left liberal agenda.

+The Senate race in South Dakota is also interesting. Senator Tom Daschle is in the fight of his career. Polls show Daschle behind Republican challenger, John Thune.

Daschle role as an obstructionist to judicial nominees, farm and energy policy is one of the main issues.

+Finally, here's an article from The American Spectator that compares John Kerry to Neville Chamberlin. Chamberlin was the UK Prime Minister who met with Hitler and then declared, "peace in our day." Like Kerry, he did not understand the threat either.
