The libs are organizing tonight in order to sway every public opinion poll availaable out there and what are you doing?

Your shooting your own team in the foot. Jackass.

"Lehrer pitched a softball to Bush asking if tehre were character issues..."

That softball was a land mine which the President was smart enough to swat away. This could have been a disasterous talking point for all the media, if he had come off as nasty or sneering. He handled it just right.

I agree...there were missed opportunities--one big one that comes to mind--Kerry said he was opposed to developing "bunker-busting" nukes--he said he was OPPOSED!!! Dubya should've nailed him to the wall for that!

You need to calm down a little. Kerry hasn't said anything of substance. He just sounds slick. I can't remember one thing he said he'd DO!

What the hell is Treblinka square?

Isn't Treblinka an old Nazi death camp?

Kerry got confused because it is noon where he is now.

No big surprise to anybody, I think, that Dubya stammers and stumbles in this type of situation. Didn't hurt him much in 2000 and it won't really hurt him tonight.

Nobody learned anything new and useful about that other guy tonight.

Bush is winning the final 2 minutes.

This is the Nation that listens to the last 5 minutes of televised Sports to see who won. They'll do it for this 'sport' too.

President's last statement was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

Bush an 8.5.
Kerry a 7.1

Kerry's too fakey with Tayrayzah.
Bush is more husbandly to Laura.

That's it from here, over to you.

One thing Kerry neglected to mention about his trip to the KGB underground installation. He didn't mention that his pictures was on the wall of heroes.

I think overall Bush won this debate, now let's see what the media has to say.

OOOHHH Lehrer gave W a HUGE softball and W let it go.

I disagree. I think that was one of Bush's better moments. It sounded like, "What do I care what he says about me?"

Anyone else notice the class Bush had in shaking Lehrer's hands before waving to the crowd? Kerry didn't make it at all from what I saw.

I wish Bush would have followed that up by saying Kerry will cut the nuclear bunker busters like he cut...and list them out like Zell did.

"It is obvious Kerry had the questions beforehand. He can't even answer straight at a news conference ordinarily. The press and media are determined Bush is going to lose. They gave him the questions."

I was wondering about that. Kerry was TOO smooth. He just rattled off his answers with ease. Kerry makes me want to vomit. He's one heck of a slick liar abd ignorant people will think he is great - that's what bothers me.

Kerry handed the Swiftboat vets a HUGE baseball bat to bludgeon him with when he said "I've never waivered"
