My pre-debate column is here. Snippet:

This isn’t a race for prom king or “Jeopardy!” champion. It’s a race for leader of the free world.

For other perspectives before tomorrow’s big event, see Keith Burgess-Jackson on style/substance. He also has interesting thoughts on liberal frustration. David Limbaugh dissects Kerry’s unlikeability and examines Al Gore’s advice column. Right Thoughts and Cabal of Doom pick up on Kerry’s bloviations about “secret plans.”

Meanwhile, The Command Post will open its chat room for each of the debates. Cool!
