Bush, but barely.
W, allowed Kerry to goad him into defending himself on several fronts early on. Kerry made W show more emotion than he should have. The way to win debates with Kerry is similar to winning the war against terrorist. Stay on the offensive, do not get flustered and get pushed back on your heels. Keep Kerry on the defensive. Keep Kerry answering for his flipping voting record. Keep Kerry answering questions about integrity. |

Kerry, even while being polished, used arguments that left him wide-f*cking-open to a bitchslapping...and Bush didn't pick up on them all the while looking befuddled at times, studdering badly.

Kerry actually stated that the US should GO INTO AFRICA (specifically, Sudan and/or Rwanda) UNILATERALLY to achieve stability in a war-torn and victim-ridden area.
Basically, he proposed doing precisely what he's condemning (Iraq War)!!! |

While saying we SHOULD now go into SUdan, he also SAID OUR TROOPS ARE ALREADY OVEREXTENDED. He said there is a Repub shadow plan to reinstitute the draft, BUT ITS THE DEOMCRATS WHO HAVE A DRAFT BILL IN CONGRESS. |

Not YET. I think you are right - ALOT of campign material for the Bush campaign. Kerry FINALLY clearly articulated a (somewhat insane) position on Irag. Pretty easy to beat Kerry senseless with it. The debate was NOT the place for Bush to hammer Kerry - would make him look petty. Hammertime comes in the next week. |

I disagree. Take that prick's own words and shove them up his ass so far they come out his mouth again.
If Bush had even moderately better skills at this, Kerry's campaign would be officially over RIGHT THE FRICK NOW. |

we all here know what should be. but america does not (poor them) have the ARFC mentality. kerry spoke with clarity, but in NO WAY accomplished over shadowing GWB. Kerry was aparantly on the offensive through out.
GWB was straight, unshaken and direct. GWB= B+ Kerry= C+ that's how i saw it |

Bush on sincerity. He stumbled ove that dick in his mouth a few times, but overall I think he left very little ammo for Jon Stewart and all the other sound byte vultures who circle the air above any speech he makes.
His little snippet about the little girl who's dad was killed... got me choked up. One thing Kerry said that Bush could have responded to differently, which would have been better: Kerry: "OBL attacked us, not Saddam Hussein..." What Bush should have said: "If Osama attacked us he'd be part of the ashes and rubble of the twin towers. He didn't attack us directly, just as Saddam hasn't attacked us directly. They are both high profile supporters of terrorism, brutality, and hate the US and both of them, along with their followers, need to be dealt with as such... PS... BOO YOWWW!!!" He also should have mentioned how JFK didn't attend intelligence meetings after 9/11. How JFK doesn't even know his own military record (sent to Combodia by Nixon?), using his miitary service as leverage for his campaign (even though he said he wouldn't do it) despite his integrity being in serious question... Magic  says: Kerry is gonna get bitch slapped in November.

Unshaken? I disagree. There were times during the debate that Bush (re)acted like he had been smoking dope or was in the early stages of alzheimer's. Kerry spoke forcefully and directly, Bush was disconnected. |

It saddened me to see W come across so poorly.
The perception I fear many undecided voters got from tonight is that 1) Kerry has a stupid plan that constantly changes. 2) Bush doesn't have a plan at all. 3) No plan is better than none. Remember, many people actually place VOTES on SOUNDBYTES, not reality - and unfortunately Bush lost the soundbyte battle by repeating his "It's hard work" mantra I support President Bush and unless hell suddenly freezes over and I'm there to see it happen, I'm voting for the President in his second term. I just hope W gets some speech pathology lessons before the next debate. I know because I had a stutter and a lisssssssssp but don't now. Practice tapes can REALLY make a difference in a short period of time. Of course, he still has a his JOB to do too. For America's future we should all wish the President the best of luck. Remember his aides actually do read your letters as part of deciding strategy. Show support for 2nd Ammendment in any letters to the President, while also stressing that you appreciate his political prowess in NOT pressuring congress over the AWB (despite his verbal support for the stupid thing). Just my $0.02 as a former lobbyist in DC. |

Kerry was kicking ass until he was asked what the biggest threat facing the US is: nuke proliferation. He's right, and it is. but then he lambasted Bush about the US developing bunker busting nukes and sanctioning Iran and the approach towards North Korea. He is the nuke developers' WET DREAM.

Bush came across like 'this is so simple I shouldn't have to explain it' and 'damn, isn't it obvious what we have to do'. What he did not do was communicate why in terms that people who only pay attention to politics one month every four years can understand.
He will actually do much better when the debate turns to the economy and other issues. Better to get this one over now. |

W seemed tired,irritable and distracted---like something on his mind. Maybe he just got a disturbing intel report. Cheney was invited by Brokaw to comment post-debate but declined. Wonder if he was "in the bunker" tonite. Anyway all Kerry has to do is campaign/prepare for the debate, Bush has to do both plus run the country at a very difficult time. Under the circumstances, the edge to Bush, but I've seen him better. Whatever happens in Iraq, like our troops or the kids getting killed today, Bush is the kind of guy that takes the weight on his shoulders but the pain makes him more determined. He's a true leader, unlike the wishy-washy, arrogant
U.N. whore Kerry. God help us if he gets elected. |

I am of the opinion that our side lost an opportunity to pull the plug on a campaign that was already on life support. Now Kerry's campaign is breathing again.
I wish I could stand in for the president during these debates. |

Unfortunately, Garandman, I think that in the court of public opinion, style trumps substance. If the Presidential race were ever only about substance, Bush would be light years ahead of Kerry as of a long time ago. I think that Kerry will regain some of the ground he has lost over the past six weeks (with two more debates) and the race will tighten. My hope (and belief) is that it will not be quite enough to defeat President Bush who will hang on and squeek through to a second term. I believe this race will be close. As a post script, I'm afraid that W's performance didn't help him at all in very tight races like here in Pennsylvania. I'm still calling PA for Kerry. |

If style over substance is what really mattered, than I think Kerry would be way ahead already. The Johns have always been the prettier candidates who spoke better... what they were saying people weren't buying. Clinton's style won over Bush Sr.'s substance because Bush Sr.'s campaign was an all around cluster fuck. That isn't the case here. People are reading way WAY too much into this. Fuck, they caught Joe Lockhart on tape calling it a draw... lokt may not agree with that assessment, but if the guy you ae paying to win the image game says its a draw, then you have to give it credibility... and the context of the statement was he was speaking to another campaign operative... in other words candor, not the puffing that goes on for the cameras before or after the debate.

I call it barely a draw. Bush should have done better. Kerry was quite annoying with his deliberate & practiced jesturing while speaking.
Kerry danced around the only thing he has to run on....4 months of combat service. I only recall him once saying "Viet Nam". Bush's opportunity to slap down Kerry at that point was to say "My administration is not here to re-fight the Viet Nam war of over 30 years ago, we are fighting a war in this century and it is a war of good vs evil" Bush has used the rope a dope for Kerry. Kerry will believe the spin from his own people & that will be echoed in the partisan media. In the next debate Kerry's truely arrogant self abosorbed nature will be on display. |
