Don't forget the channeling of Reagan and JFK that Kerry performed during the talk. Talk about transparent baloney...

Still, after almost a year I anticipate a landslide for Dubya.

I don't give a darn what the experts thunk about it. What I and we should care about is how the numb skulled undecided or those sitting on the fence think.

CBS? Not a credible source.

Bush nuked him. The "Global Test" will haunt Kerry for the rest of the campaign.

The undecideds will still break mostly for Bush as they usually do for incumbents in presidential races.

I agree. That "Global Test" comment is a killer for kerry. What a gift for Carl Rove.

That Reagan reference was disgraceful. Let's see, he invoked Ronald Reagan, AND he promised to stop our nuclear weapons program. If only Ronnie were here to lend some theatrical flare to Bush's slapdowns.

I liked Bush's repetition on the subject of Kerry's public bashing of US Iraq policy: the slighting of Allawi, of our allies, of our troops, is unacceptable, and is a good "in a nutshell" summary of why Kerry can't be President.

All Bush needs to do is put that "Global Test" phrase in a campaign ad and this race is over. The Fat Lady is warming up.....

I think the Pajamahadeen has spooked CBS. Next think, CBS will endorse Dubya for another 4 years as president.

All of which helped to undercut one of Kerry's key premises: he knows how to deal with allies. Apparently he doesn't... and he showed us.

The line in Kerry's closing where he said he "never wavered" is fair game, too. I hope that gets played in some 527 ad against his antiwar testimony in the 70s. If that isn't wavering, I'm not sure what is.

They just need to juxtapose his "unwavering" next to "I voted for that before I voted against it"

Exactly my opinion on second watching. I just listened the second time, as most Americans probably did. The first time through, I was trying to analyze every word of every statement -- not what most Americans will likely do.

I just read the AP story. Tid for tat, it makes Bush look good.

Exactly. If the mainstream media reports the debate as a draw, that clearly means that they think Kerry lost.

Also, it is predictably lazy journalism to say the debate was a draw. Doing so doesn't require any depth of analysis whatsoever--the story could have been (and probably was) written days ago.

"Kerry’s over the bar and he’s in the game."


And he's just had his nails done....again.
