Kerry sounds like a senator. Bush sounds like a President!
Great! I was trying to put my finger on it and I believe you hit the nail on the head.
KERRY IS REBUTTING & NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTION, HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED! THAT MODERATOR SUCKS!
John Kerry would activate two active tooty forces. Perhaps they would be the Ben & Jerry's Tooty Fruitty army?
Those of you saying that Bush is losing don't understand that unless Kerry decimates Bush - he loses. He's doing well, but Bush is doing fine.
For the undecided out there, particularly the more uninformed among them, I think this one has to go to Kerry.
1. Kerry was able to put president Bush on the defensive right from the start and has kept him there.
2. In spite of several openings, Bush did not stick the proverbial fork in Kerry when he had the chance. He's being too nice by not going after Kerry directly.
3. The President has come accross as almost pleading in some of his responses, which makes him look unsure rather than confident. Kerry has come accross as confident, articulate and in control of the facts (which is easy when the facts don't matter to you and you are willing to lie without hesitation, and, in fact, have plenty of practice doing just that).
The proof will be in the poll numbers next week, but I see Kery's numbers going up. Hate to say it, but that's the way I see it. I hope I am wrong.
