Wha-?

Forgot to wait the extra day to file this report(filed from Buffalo, no less):

US presidential candidate John F Kerry finds himself between a rock and a hard place, as the American expression goes, after yesterday’s long-awaited debate on national television.

The pre-election presidential television series of one-on-one debates have become a peculiarly American tradition. Last night, an estimated 50 million people, about half the total electorate, watched the first act in an intense 90-minute verbal jousting between wannabe Kerry and incumbent president George W Bush.

And sparks flew.

The headline was "Bush, Kerry spar in TV debate." I thought that maybe while I was out Kerry had had enough of Bush's smears and fisticuffs ensued. Sadly, I was misled.

There is no word in the article on who won the debate. If you ask me, Kerry clearly succeeded in doing what he had to, and Bush's gaffe will live on in history as the moment he lost the election.

Guess we will have to wait until it actually occurs.
