here's some wishful post-debate thinking: perhaps w's miserable failure of a performance will signal the end of the kind of robotic, mind-programming, talking point repetition that has passed for national discourse for the past four years.

in my heart of hearts, i'm hoping that people watching the debates not only thought "hey, kerry looks more presidential" but they also thought "hey, kerry is making logical arguments, and the other guy is just repeating the same words over and over no matter what the question is-- he isn't actually saying ANYTHING AT ALL!"

if you don't know what i'm talking about, you need to watch this amazing video from the GOP convention. it's all talking points, all the time. (and guiliani looks like a total psycho-- watching this, his presidential aspirations look dim. the guy couldn't be less "presidential" if he wore a clown nose).
