I think Bush had better points, but he did NOT come across well, he looked nercvous, repeated himself many times, he started to stutter several times, lost track of words...just like I do... :)
I think the headline of this debate is:
Bin Laden does not get to determine how the US defends itself.
He was very repetitive but that is GWB's nature. Kerry was far too forceful and the likeability factor he sought did NOT come across.
