I thought that the President had a better closing message.
"I thought that the President had a better closing message."...I thought Kerry won the debate and the President looked nervous, until the end when the President had a killer closing message and absolutely blew Kerry out of the water, which is what people might take with them from the debate. He is serious about defending the country and Kerry is not (some mysterious plan).
MM, the debate was a pancake.
It doesn't ever matter about words, it's about eye to eye. When our survival is at stake, it's all about eye to eye.
President Bush looked Amercians in the eye and made his case.
"You're afraid! You should be! Life and death. This is tough work. Follow me."
Kerry had no riposte. He was a skilled debater, not a leader.
Game over.
