Let's Get Happy

I was obviously too restrained in my evaluation last night. Victory is ours! Kerry the mighty! In the words of Boondocks cartoonist Aaron McGruder. “Bush got his ass whupped.” The DNC put together all the bad faces that Bush made during the debate. The fun thing about Bush's facial expressions is that they are ambiguous but bad. Is he bored, annoyed, eating a lemon? I don't know, but it's nothing good. Every poll taken has Kerry winning the debate. Not even Bush's people can put a good face on it.

Things to watch:

Comedy. I mean it. Saturday Night Live's take on this debate could really mean something. It did the last time. The Daily Show already put down a marker with this joke - "What was John Kerry writing during the debate - "I'm so crushing him." The consensus should become that Kerry could not have beat Bush more if he had a stick. If SNL shows Kerry beating Bush with a stick, that impression will stay.

The VPs. The Vice-Presidential debate will come on Tuesday. Expectations on Cheney will now be to stop Kerry-Edwards momentum. If Edwards hands him his head (and he should) Headlines like "2-0" and "Democratic Win Streak Continues."

Democratic Overconfidence. I can feel it coming on in me. First pride then...you know. But until that comes, today is a good day for Donkeys. Teresa should start picking out colors for the White House drapes. Victory!
