and Bush has got to use more of his humor in future debates. It really helped him against Gore and will do the same against Bush vs. the Stiff, round II.

Okay I can finally give my 2 cent's. This was a disaster for Bush -- you can spin it anyway you want but truth is truth. Bush stumbled and fumbled. His refusal to challenge Kerry made him look as if he couldn't come up with anything original to say. If this debate was supposed to be Bush's strongest area then he's in real serious trouble with 2 more debate especially with a townhall and domestic issues coming up.
Bush didn't lose any core votes tonight but he didn't win any either. My gut feeling all along said tonight would be a disaster for Bush and I was right(not that that make me feel any better --in fact I'm just heartbroken over it). When the polls come out; if Bush has lost 5-6 points my gut tells me this election is over. In fact I think Bush may have lost it tonight.
Bash me all you want to but in all reality Bush looked a lot like his dad did in '92 trying to fighting off Clinton --and that didn't go well. Not saying he was disengaged but he just didn't defend himself very well. And Kerry lied just like Clinton did in 1992 but the perception is what killed Bush 41 and it may very well do in 43.
I pray I'm dead wrong but as Luke Skywalker would say, "I have a bad feeling about this."
