George Bush and John Kerry won’t be spending any more time together in this campaign. From now on, it’s the ground war mentality of the final day’s push. But last night, the two candidates gave voters a lot to think about. Sparring over healthcare and jobs, education and tax cuts, they traded labels, barbs, misstatements and bullet points, each one trying to claim the higher ground on domestic issues that matter more to Americans.
