politics
Just finished watching the presidential debate. It's 3:45 AM, and I am so energized I don't know if I could sleep. Somebody out there send me a Kerry 2004 poster for my dorm window. I kind of wish that Kerry had been stronger in his criticism of Bush, but I was howling when Bush got so peeved he couldn't answer straight.
Incidentally, I have *never* watched a presidential debate all the way through before. Here, I had to wait until 2 AM to watch the thing, and I couldn't wait. My guess is that there is something about being a foreign student, or at least an expatriate, that heightens the feeling of "American-ness". Only two of us watched it here in Keble: me, a Kerry supporter from Massachusetts, and an independent Michigander whose vote is still up in the air, though from conversations he seems to be leaning toward Kerry.
OK, that's it. I'm going to bed.
