To hear the slice of America tell it who dialed into C-Span’s phone bank after tonight’s final round of the 2004 Presidential Election Debates, President Bush was the evening’s clear winner because he is a man of faith and integrity who will protect America and keep her strong.

John Kerry and George W. Bush met tonight at Washington University in St. Louis for a town hall style debate with implications for the future of the United States and the entire world. Mr. Kerry came prepared to speak clearly and seriously to the fears and concerns of ordinary Americans, to defend his record as a legislator, and to offer his plans for addressing affairs both foreign and domestic. Mr. Bush came prepared for Open Mic at the Improv.

To a degree that many “progressive” people are unwilling to admit, the drubbing Ralph Nader has received for his latest quixotic tilt at the Presidency is shameful. This is very different from the shame ascribed to him for the “support” his candidacy has elicited in some of the country’s more conservative quarters. Such support comes clearly from a cynical, calculating mindset well-versed in the hoary necessities of American electoral politics; it is therefore both expected and unremarkable.
