Khaosai,
I disagree with you on two points. First, I am not as convinced as you seem to be the President Bush lost (you've posted this on several threads). But that is not what this is about, which is the second point.

Kerry clearly took something, I don't know what, out of his pocket and placed it on the lectern. It's against the rules period, win, lose or draw. Americans don't like cheaters and a good portion of the public were not so sure about Kerry, even without this. Clinton is still fresh in a lot of peoples' minds.

GW lost the debate - but it wasn't because of anything Kerry did - It was because Kerry never had to defend his awful 20 year Senate record on National Security.

Spin it all you want. But why the Kerry people and MSM are so happy is that for 90 minutes while 55 million Americans watching (and more reading about it) Kerry's awful 20 year senate record of being WRONG on the Cold War, WRONG on the first Gulf War, WRONG on cutting funds to the CIA, etc, etc....None of this was brought up -

Bottom line at the end of the night. Kerry wins because of this. GW was on the defensive all night. Kerry escaped having to defend his record.
