Kerry will likely win the second debate on domestic policy. Democrats always do better of this area as that is their game.

I don't think Kerry will win the demestic debate. Bush will talk about taxes, taxes, taxes. He showed his hand tonight and Kerry will be shown to be a soft on defense big spender. No good for him.

True........raising taxes and class envy,are NOT a winning hand;however,it's the one Kerry's playing.

My opinion is based on prior debates and the fact that Kerry really is good on this issue.

It will remain to be seen, but I have low expectations for that debate.

My expectations for this one were not as high as others either.

Bush only needs to hold his own. He does not need to win these debates. So try to keep that in mind.

Most people complaining tonight had the expectation that Bush might put Kerry away. It never crossed my mind. Kerry is just too good of a debate strategist.

Bush only needs to stay focused and do what he does best by communicating to all the people.

Kerry only appeals to the elites, wackos and malcontents.
