Kerry, who was complaining that Bush didn't turn the whole shebang over to the UN, is upset that Bush had the Afghanis clean up their own country. Huh?

W has the facts and the message, Kerry has the rhetorical slicks. The mushy middles don't care to process facts. They go for looks. We'll be down in the polls over the next couple days.

I wish that the President's stage presence had been better tonight. He lost some ground, IMO.

The one question Lehrer asked Bush to criticize Kerry on was worded to make Bush look mean if he attacked Kerry. Lehrer asked if he believed if Kerry won, we would be more likely to get hit. He should have asked if Bush believed that Kerry's polices were less safe, which is how he sets of Kerry to criticize Bush.
