te divergence of opinion on this thread is quite amazing - from people saying its over, to people saying Bush is doing well. I'm not watching it, hopefully the truth is someplace in the middle. I really think most americans only watch the first hour of the first debate, so if some of the earlier posts were right, Kerry likely made up some ground.
this election is going down to the wire, just like many of us said it would. clearly from what many freepers are posting here, there isn't going to be any landslide. that may well be for the best, too many people on our side were getting over confident - it doesn't sound like that will continue after tonight, and that's a good thing.
This debate isn't really going to change anyone's mind, in my opinion. Both Bush and Kerry are basically, well, Bush and Kerry. You either support the President and his leadership or you don't. I support the President, nothing that happens in these debates will change that, and I don't think it will for most people realistically.
I also think that when those undecideds get in that booth and they start thinking about 9/11 and terrorism, most of them will vote for Bush. Unless they want to see the U.S. kowtowing to the U.N. and kissing the world's ass. Personally, I don't.
