"But does there seem to be one or the other winning the debate?"

I confess I have never known how to evaluate debates in terms of winning or losing. However, I will say that I think Daschle is making a mistake with his chuckling and laughing at Thune's responses. I comes off very badly. Thune is keeping his cool and is coming off as adult and well informed.

Ok, thanks.

Bill Kristol: Kerry's message on Iraq will be: "I'll get us out".

I could puke, when Tiny Tom keeps refering to Thune as "follower", and everyone knows Daschle's an Obstructor, not a Leader

still 20 minutes or so before Meet The Presss starts here, but I'll be watching for Daschle's "laughing" as Thune speaks. That's such a lame trick during debates, to attempt to belittle your opponent, with condescending laughs and heavy sighs. You'd think democrats would have learned their lesson from Gore in 2000.

But isn't it obvious how scared Daschle must be of losing? To even appear on MTP today signals Daschle is in big trouble.
