The referee:
Nice feature at The Washington Post: Debate Referee puts a little referee icon next to places in the debate transcript where there's a questionable statement, and links to discussion of the question. (Registration may be required.)
Who cares about Osama? At one point, Bush took issue with Kerry's statement that Bush had once said he didn't care where Osama bin Laden is now. Bush denied ever saying anything like that, which I thought strange because I've seen the quote in print. Michael Froomkin has the exact quote and another one, via Kevin Drum.
Why not? Some interesting discussion going on about whether it would be a good idea to have Oprah Winfrey host a presidential debate. This Philadelphia Inquirer story says Paula Zahn likes the idea.
One opinion:
From a reader: "Kerry was strong, intelligent and honest. Bush was confused, condescending and ultimately not believeable." Concise. posted by liz at 9:54 AM
