People may not realize that George W. is from New Haven, Connecticut. He might have the ranch, etc., but he's no Texan. Texas is a really big state, and the capital, Austin, is actually one of the more liberal cities in the nation. Lots of left-wing leanings occur in Austin (it's no surprise, since it's really a college town at heart). It's people like Bush who waltz in and defend old, outdated policies and laws such as the death penalty that make us look like a bunch of right-wing toothless hicks. If you stand by the Capital building in Austin, you'll see protesters daily.
About the debate: It seems most of the news channels and major news organizations have deemed Kerry the winner of the debate. The best the more conservative organizations can call it is a draw. ^__^ That's what the Republicans get for placing their boy in front of a live television situation with no script to read from. The man just can't speak. I bet even Dan Quayle could have done a better job defending against Kerry's criticism. What a 'tard.
