I think Jay is overreacting. He didn't mention John F*ckin's gaffes: 1) higher taxes, 2) global test, 3) shutting down bunker-buster bomb production and 4) giving Iran's Mad Mullahs an atom bomb courtesy of Uncle Sam. I'm really disappointed Jay came down so hard on the President. Yeah he could have done a better job but he didn't make any fatal mistakes. On the hand, Kerry committed four Big Bloopers. They'll be remembered on Election Day.
If only it were true.
Fact is, the media will bury these points. Most Americans will never hear about them again. These points will be forgotten by Saturday, and what will remain will be the impressions that were formed tonight.
And the consensus seems to be that Kerry won on impressions.
Now there's an argument that wins elections in wartime -- not.
Can't wait until next week to hear Kerry's arguments on raising taxes. That should play well in Peoria, too. /s
