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."

"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."

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 watched the debate with some friends and family, and all minus I thought Kerry won- even including a Bush supporter.

It was obviously a Bush win. I don't understand how everyone sees the same thing differently.

"Let me fill the Senator and Cahill in on something. Christians may be against homosexual marriage, and they may believe homsexuality is wrong based on scripture, but the overwhelming majority of us have nothing but compassion for Cheney's daughter. To abuse her name on national TV for attempted political gain, well, proves the character of Senator Kerry is anything but admirable."

To Soul Seeker: WHAT! How dare you question moi's tolerance? How dare you? After all, I an extremist liberal, which as EVERYBODY knows, is the most open and tolerant of all the quasi-dictatorial belief systems. I am your ideological better, and only I posess the right to exploit someone's sexuality for mine own gain. You, as a conservative warmonger are now forbidden from addressing any social issue until your answer can pass muster with the ACLU and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance. When my boys in Ohio "elect" me President, you will be among the first prison..,er, uh.., "student" to report for re-education.

-I'm Commandante John Kerry, and I approve this message.

people are buying kerry on the low swing hoping that he'll come back up, allowing a profitable dump. Same thing happened when Kerry was getting slaughtered earlier.

"Dick Morris declares Kerry the winner -- I feel better now. He's always wrong."

That's not what I heard Morris say. He said Bush did a great job.

His explanation on abortion as it related to being a Catholic was painfully lame and resolutely suspect

LOL -- well put.

One of the pundits said tonight that Bush forced Kerry into some awkward spots on social issues, which is exactly right. Kerry had to tie himself into a pretzel in order to say something that wouldn't piss off the atheist/socialist and union/traditionalist factions of his base. The Dems have to tapdance on social issues.

"CBS poll showing major Kerry victory tonight: 39-25"

That is really hard to believe. Did anyone see the camera shots of Teresa Heinz-Kerry during the debate? She looked like she was having heartburn or gastric distress.

You are correct. The libs somehow think that "Right wing fundamentalist religeous zealots" absolutely hate homosexuals and will not tolerate anyone even related to one. They have been demonizing Christians for so long, they actually believe their own tripe. They made a serious misjudgement in bringing up Cheney's daughter. That made negative points for them in EVERY camp.

Anyone with a rational mind would say Bush won. It is amazing how many times Bush used Freedom and Liberty. Such powerful words. I can't remember a President who spoke so often of what made this country great. I also like the fact that Bush doesn't use the word democracy much at all. He truly knows the foundations of our great Republic. Too bad 99% of the MSM is actively anti-US and the great masses are ignorant of our history. This will be a trying election. I truly fear a Kerry administration.

"Soros is that you?"

It was Soros dumping his Kerry stock to get it up to 60-39. then, I guess, it was the dummies attempting a last ditch effort to prop Kerry up.
