I mean if you were a complete idiot and knew nothing about Kerry he looked convincing in the last 30 min, except when Bush ripped him on the Gulf War 1. Hopefully he did that throughout the debate.
I was a little disappointed GWB didn't make some points better than I had hoped but he seemed to do well overall. TV talking heads seem to think Kerry spewed out too many statistics or lectured too much.
I think this gives Mr Bush some momentum. Even a nay sayer like Bill Kristol says he won big.
