It's interesting to read the blogs from Paul Begala and [Bush tool] Robert Novak that CNN.com ran during last night's debate:

You'd think they were watching two different debates, and perhaps they were. What looks like a flustered, harried president to one viewer looks like a decisive, resolute president to another. I can't imagine how Novak or anyone else could look at Bush and not see what Begala saw, or what I saw, but then we're not viewing it all from the same place.

For entertainment value, Jessi Klein's blog was pretty funny:

When Kerry is talking, the cutaway shot to Bush is hilarious—he looks the way a dog looks when he sees his reflection in the mirror—sort of confused, sort of curious, possibly ready to attack.

By the way, is there a dog running for president? Because right about now, if you showed me a smart-looking terrier, he'd have my vote.

Jessi, meet Ella.
