Its as good as its going to get for Kerry. He should bask in the glow of a perceived win while it lasts.
The last uptick for Kerry- a speed bump for Bush?
I hope you're right. Bush had way too many long pauses and fumbled for words too often. His closing remark was a saying grace IMO. He better hole up in a hotel room next week and cram for the next debate. Although the "Global Test" remark by Kerry was a priceless moment.
He isn't doing it. So we need to do it.
Here is an easy to read chart of what the media was saying pre-911 (and after): Connect the Dots...Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden
.
Everyone, including myself, was so focused on performance last night that the true import of Kerry's stance is the big news today.
"Global Assesment" of our security?
Sending nuclear fuel to Iran?
Dismantling our nuclear program?
Stopping the development and production of bunker busters?
Not wanting China involved in North Korea talks?
He finally took a position, but it is a very bad position.
Kerry's screwed. I hope the Bush team makes use of all of it.
For being a politician, Kerry sure has awful instincts. There he is in Florida, a state that is extremely important, and he stays in his room and gets a manicure? He blew it by not going out and talking to people who survived the hurricanes.
