SETTLE DOWN! DON'T LOSE HOPE. KEEP THE FAITH!!

Thanks I needed that

This debate is about TERRORISM and Foreign policy..

Bush has a huge edge on those issues.....people who are voting based on terrorism have already decided to vote for Bush...so even if Kerry is creaming Bush, (which I dont agree with)....he isnt gonna make a huge dent in the polls

PS- Bush sucked in the first debate with Gore too, then really hit his stride in the second 2 debates....I think this first debate is a feeling-out process for Bush to learn what to expect from Kerry in the susbequent debates

[P.O.E.]

Doesn't admire Kerry's record? That's an understatement!

[Nova Reservist]

The President is making his "security" point extremely well. This is the major point for the undecideds. I think he's doing better by a slight amount. But, Kerry needs a major knockout blow, there is none yet, probably not going to be one tonight

Bush just won. You can all go to sleep.

Quick, say "mixed messages" three times real fast.

I like the President's style of speaking. Lurch is using way too many words and talking way too fast for an old Okie to be impressed. I've heard a lot of blowhards like him over my lifetime, and I have learned not to trust them.

And I think most of the United States will agree with me.

Agree. Actually, I would not worry about this debate. Political junkies are watching, but I think most people will find this debate format booooring and will likely flip to something else on the TV.

The President is doing just fine...what is all this negativity! He's marvelous, he's human, he's real, he's honest. GO W!!!!!!!!
