PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

Just watched the debate on CNN (am at work on a public holiday - v annoying). Kerry came across much better and appeared much more "presidential".

A discussion here afterwards brought the following gem from one of our colleagues in Tokyo...

"Kerry definitely came across better, but the problem is American politics panders to the lowest common denominator so a lot of people may well vote for Bush precisely because he's an idiot."

More ammo for my argument that democracy is an inherently flawed system and a benevolent dictatorship is the best way to go.
