On answering a question about the Patriot Act, Bush almost seemed
surprised that anyone would feel threatened by it. That’s going to be a
tough sell … whether accurate or not, it’s a common perception.

Kerry is being very careful in how he answers on Embryonic Stem Cell
Research. He needs to be careful, because his position is pro-choice
but he still needs their vote. His interpretation of Bush’s policy is
unfair. Bush was the first President, ever, to federally fund Embryonic
Stem Cell Research. Claims that he is somehow preventing such research
is plain unfair. The most he can claim, is that he would encourage even
more research – a much slimmer claim.
