biggest enemies
NK, less so Iran then a long rant about "conduct change" vs "regime change"
this is supposed to be his big strength and he just completely failed to show he knows something.
gravel just said we have no enemies. "im not afraid of anyone" attacked military industrial culture.
edwards-- question about russia. friend or foe? called putin govt an autocracy. then talked about how do we change what is happening. "turn america into a force for good again" sanitation in africa. education in africa and the muslim world.
I thought there was a decent amount of substance for a 60 second answer. I thought he missed a golden oppurtunity to say we don't have three allies thanks to george w. bush.
I wanted Edwards to talk more about Russia so I could hear him say "Putin" again. I don't think there is a way to say it phonetically. (And it's hard not to be superficial when these events are so superficial. Hardly any substance at all.)

but compared to Richardson and Hillary, he is quite comfortable. I would like to see him in a "real" debate. These are mini-speeches under a time constraint.
Edwards looks comfortable. He has been very comfortable in almost any situation since his veep candidacy days. He's always been comfy in small groups.
talked about Katrina, but the analogy was forced. It was a good response to a question of what should our response be to another Al Qaida attack on an american city, but he didnt really answer the question very directly.
same question for edwards. "find who was responsible, react swiftly and strongly. second figure out how it happened." attacked Bush's homeland security.
"We have more tools than bombs" Push people on the fence to our side instead of to the side of the terrorists.
But it's not logic that impresses. These debates aren't about the content of their answers. It's about how they appear as they are answering the questions. ;)

not pistol
I thought that was weird too, I wonder what that means? Shotgun is a "recreational" weapon I guess.

I think pistols are more like
something to kill people.
But they're also self-protection which doesn't seem anything to be shy about.
Maybe he thinks it's unmanly to want a gun for self protection but not for hunting. Who knows? He's weird.

Lakoff Framing
I think the questions about Terrorism are all starting from the Rep frame?
Did all the candidates just allow the question to be dictated by Guiliani's
"the Repugs are defenders against terrorism..."?
Why do people have the impression that Repugs are stronger on terror? kind of implies that we all have to accept Guiliani's words.
Do all people have this impression? where did that "Truth" come from?
