My opinion about who won last night debate is hopelessy compromised by my bias. So it’s nice to know that Dan Drezner watched the same debate I did:
a) Bush did better than the first debate;
b) Kerry also did a bit better — he was sharp from the start this time;
c) Again, both candidates whiffed on the openings given by the other candidates;
d) If Kerry gets elected, you just know that his to-the-camera pledge not to raise taxes for households under $200,000 is going to bite him in the ass,
e) The bizarre moment of the night was the Bush foray into Dred Scott territory. But I do feel safer that Bush will not appoint pro-slavery judges.
So I think Kerry won, but not by as much as last time.

Some people seem to be a bit boggled by Bush’s Dred Scott remark last night. It wasn’t about racism or slavery, or just Bush’s natural incoherence. Here’s what Bush actually said:If elected to another term, I promise that I will nominate Supreme Court …

This all turned out to be right interesting
Dubya’s Dred Scott comment the other day struck everyone else as strangely as it did me. I’ve discovered it struck my political interpretational biases right between the eyes.

Dred Scott and a Bush Supreme Court
I have heard African American Citizens express that they don’t want judges who would strictly interpret the Constitution because that view is the same view that caused the Supreme court in the Dred Scott case to refer to blacks as property.
I disa…
