Engaged yes, but questions of policy are pretty light. Iraq is a major issue, but the question is whether Kerry or Bush would be more "effective." A real discussion of Iraq would have to include Israel -- something more than "I am with Sharon." Other issues are mentioned, not discussed -- health care, jobs. Either "I have a plan" or "My reforms are working or the Congress needs to enact more." Other issues are not even mentioned very much -- the environment, regulations of all kinds. Finally, any discussion of the economy is super-superficial. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 530-898-5321 E-Mail michael at ecst.csuchico.edu
