So How Do Y'all Think I'm Doing In This Debate?
I'm only 17 y/o, so I don't really have that, "touch" for lack of a better word.

But I was just checking in for y'all to see what you thought. Feel free to give ideas, praise, criticize... anything is welcomed. :)

2. great!
I liked this exchange:

"people may disagree with bush, but he has ideas"

I have an idea to kill all small children! Hey, that's an idea right? People may not like it, but still, it's an idea right? We might as well apply your theory to all situations shouldn't we? Now's who's with me?!


Crisp and clean...to the point.

I thought about that during the press conference and Bush explained away his low polling numbers. (then later said that Putin needed to listen to his people)

3. You are mopping the floor with those folks.
Your analysis is superior and your opening statement was devastating. You lined up all the issues showing a disparity between * and public opinion. I was particularly impressed with how you handled facts; calling the guy on 54% for * in 2004 was just wonderful. These guys should just let you post and stay out of your way. Are you on your debate team? You have a natural talent and HS or college debate is a superb way to expand on an already well defined gift for augmentation.

In other words, you kicked their right wing asses, real good:yourock:

4. Gee... thanks!
We don't have a debate team at my school. I just really love America and politics and I try to do my part... even if I don't have a vote yet. It's still my country right?

Thanks. Keep the thoughts coming DU! :yourock:

5. "This land is your land..." Sure is! Now get yourself to college and
develop that wonderful talent you have. You can be CrimsonGovernor on DU in about 15 years. I'll stick around for that.

7. When discussing Florida, don't go egghead on them
Just tell them that Gore won the electoral votes in Florida, but the SCOTUS awarded them to * instead.

And remind the Repugs about the "Brooks Brothers" riot in Tallahassee. No, the recount was never completed. Make them prove that it was and we'll talk.
