Bush had to convince the undecided voter who weren't paying attention before and won't pay attention in the future that he deserves to be re-elected. With these people he had just this one shot and he didn't make the sale.

That is TOTALLY wrong - note my point above.

For such a person is definitely NOT anti-war or else they'd already be for Kerry or Nader (or Dean) and NEVER for Bush. Kerry didn't target those people at all; it was all negative, derogatory anti-war michael-moore-onics galore, even Halliburton and war-for-oil stuff. No moderates are swayed by that and, in fact, likely ended up in Bush's camp (I guessed a small percentage, probably 1%).

I'm sorry, but Kerry was the only one who showed up to debate last night.

I don't know what Bush was doing but whatever it was it cost him.

My own suspicion is that he was playing defense and making sure he didn't give Kerry any talking points.

At any rate, by a 2-1 margin viewers said that Kerry won, and there's no way you can put lipstick on that pig.
