First Debate ‘04

I just saw today that the iTunes Music Store has the first presidential debate available to download free. You can download it by clicking on this nifty little button:

Check it out, if you are so inclined. I only watched the first half, and neither of them impressed me much. I think it was worse for Bush, though, because this debate was about a topic he should be pretty strong on. The subsequent debates appear to be more in Kerry’s territory. Whatever.
On a side note, I know Steve Jobs and Apple in general are rather Left-leaning; I wonder, if the next debate were to go in W’s favor, would they post that one for free too? We’ll see…

UPDATE: Haha, Drudge has a piece on Kerry supposedly bringing some piece of paper onstage, which was against the agreed-upon rules for the debate. He even has a link to video which does seem to show Kerry pulling a piece of paper out of his jacket. Check it out.
