"John Kerry, his support in key states sagging and his time to shore it up fading, needed a knock-out punch Thursday night in his first debate with George Bush. It never came. "
Says it all.
Rope-a-dope?
"Simply chilling was Kerry's talk of the United States needing to pass some kind of "global test" before defending itself preemptively."
Yup. Kerry was as slick as a snakeoil salesman but this was a BIG mistake. I think voters don't want their President to ask the UN whether they would be allowed to preempt terrorist attacks on their own country.
Exactly how I felt. Stylistically, both men expressed their positions well. Either you agree with the President or you agree with the "we have to change our opinions and policy every five minutes" guy. I doubt many minds were changed.

Sheesh.
Interesting how this statement is consistently being brought up by nearly all punditry, across the board. Kerry will be sorry he made it.
