Never have I said I didn't have faith in Bush. My problem is the he blew this debate so bad that it might have very well caused irreversible damage. I saw a post here and it was the truth. Basically saying you only get one chance at a first impression and Bush's first impression was blown and people might not take a second look.

Now Bush has to debate in an arena that is not his best in an area that's not his best. And since he doesn't seem to really think fast on his feet he may be in bigger trouble in the second debate.

And Cheney's debate with Edwards isn't going to help. Remember in 1992 Quayle(sp) won his debate with Gore but that didn't help Bush 41.

I don't put all my eggs in one basket. W has a lot more going for him than a debate with a slicked down used car salesman. Shoot, I voted for Gore in 2000. Ouch! who threw that rock at my head?

Horse hockey! It's the height of absurdity to think that this President after nearly 4 years in office and the given the circumstances he's dealt with is providing any first impressions to anybody in this country.

Unless they've been living on the plant Zarga, FGS!

Bush has been POTUS and CIC for over three of the most dramatic and important years in this nation's existence. Anyone who relied on this silly faux-"Debate" for a first look at him is so out of it there's no point in concerning ourselves with them.
