Thank God we're out of the debate cycle. The first debate cost the President a chance to pull away for good but he stopped the bleeding with the VP and the 2nd debate and helped himself tonight, albiet with a smaller audience, but it should at least keep everybody from being complacent the next 20 days,
"Thank God we're out of the debate cycle."
Yes! I think it was a mistake to agree to three debates. All and all I think the president suffered serious losses from these debates. The Pres and his advisors generally do so well in other things, I don't know where they went wrong. I think if the pres had listed to some of what people say here on freerepublic he would have burried Kerry. He needed to get partisan and get personal.
He needed to say,
"look, Senator, this is the 3rd time I've had to correct someting you've said tonite. Now are you going to be strait with the American people or not?"
I think it may have been Kristol who was telling Brit tonight that tonight will have a larger audience than expected due to the close, hard-fought nature of this election and the "emotions" running so high. We see when the viewing numbers come up. I hope Kristol was right. Kerry made so many mistakes tonight.
