Fox Panel: Debate a 'Knock Out' for Bush Fox News Channel's debate panel ruled the last of three face-offs between John Kerry and President Bush a clear win for the president, with panelist Bill Kristol saying Kerry had been "knocked out." Panelist Fred Barnes concurred. "It was clearly President Bush's best debate. He seemed to marshall all the arguments that he wanted on all these domestic issues - many of which are traditional Democratic issues, including health care." Barnes said this was the first debate where Bush seemed "animated and strong" on the early questions. "In the others it's taken him sort of a half hour to get rolling." "If he had done as well in the first debate as he did tonight, he'd have a much bigger lead in this race," he added. Panelist Morton Kondracke agreed, saying, "I think Kerry was on the defensive a lot of the time so I think it was a much better performance by Bush."

"I think Bush knocked Kerry out tonight," he told Fox debate anchor Brit Hume. "He just slaughtered him. "I was keeping track of the twenty questions," Kristol said. "I don't have Kerry winning any question outright. I think maybe six or seven were tied. And I have Bush winning outright a majority of the questions."
George W. Bush
Sen John Kerry
108
Kristol got it right tonight.
I think tonight was the exclamation point to a 300+ electorial landslide.
Unfortunately I just finished work and missed the debate. I saw some of the post commentary and it souds like Bush did real well. 4 more years!!!!!!
BUSH was up over 60 on TRADESPOTS Kerry under 39
Two seconds later
57-43
Someone is dinking around
Soros is that you?
And this one really counted.
I thought kerry would slip up in one of these debates and it looked like he did it twice tonight when he mentioned Cheney's daughter and when he gave that wierd response in regards to women. Not gonna play well in Peoria......
Nothing new in the debates tonight. sKerry just revealed himself (as we have known all along) as a stuffed-shirt windbag.
That there is anyone in this country that would consider voting for such a coreless and clueless giggolo simply astounds me.
Yes, your President did you proud tonight.
bump
Way to go, Mr. President!
That there is anyone in this country that would consider voting for such a coreless and clueless giggolo simply astounds me.
How do you know my sister?
Watch it on a replay.
Fox will replay it, so will the others
and C-SPAN will run it several times.
YOU WILL BE HAPPY!
Yes, sir, this one really counted.
I am so happy tonight.
VERY PROUD OF POTUS!
WTF was the logic behind the Democrats prepping Kerry to bring up Dick Cheney's daughter's sexual preference?
Yup. In politics, it's what's happened last that counts.
That first debate? Hey, that's "old news"...
And the surprising thing was that he actually looked pleased! :o)
McAuliffe got the crap beat out of him by Hannity tonight.
You are too new to be a screw~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o
ZOT MOFO
