A “PLAN” IS NOT A “LITANY OF COMPLAINTS:” First original line. So far this is the weakest debate of the three. That in part accounts for the glassy look in my eyes, though I’ve had that kind of a day anyway. . . .

UPDATE: Early-call specialist PoliPundit is already calling it for Bush: “In the first debate, Kerry’s harsh prosecutorial manner was effective. In the second, it was boring. In the third, it’s backfiring.”

Should you believe him? His track record is good, and Kerry’s protectionist trade talk is sure losing me.
