I thought he actually said each of those things succinctly and that he did it in a way average voters could hear. He didn't have time to say everything to the last T.....but he said what he needed to say, hitting the necessary points in the campaign fairly well.

Kerry came off trying to spin into his list of talking points, tried to say too many disparate points in every answer, something most people could not follow. A bit wonkish, a bit too whiny, and he looked rattled that W was doing so well.

If he said "tax cuts for the rich" one more time, I think I would have climbed the TV and punched him in the face (well, I would like to have anyway). All I could think when he was busy running down the president and how America is in more danger now was "the most dangerous thng about America today is that there are enough people stupid enough to consider putting YOU and that loose cannon meal ticket of yours in the White House."
