The Debate
Started out very slow and incoherent.Bush stepped it up for the balance of the debate, owning about half of it. It's winding down now, the questions are friendlier and that seems deliberate.
I think that the blows Kerry landed were answered well, for the most part. Bush's shots, however, were not easily and convincingly answered.
But I don't have much credibility here as I just cannot see Kerry as president. I don't believe it can happen, ...and I can't honestly take him seriously.
I'd call it wash. Kerry supporters are probably happy with what Kerry said, and Bush supporters will be happy with what he said. For that reason, I will call it a draw.
Ten minutes left ...
Frankly, Bush just killed him on the North Korea issue and on the "rush to war" and "go it alone" issues. But that probably has to do with my personal opinion, which is aligned with Bush on those issues.
Yeah, it's a wash. They seemed to be talking to their supporters, and I doubt this will change anything.
