No, it's not obvious at all. The target audience for this debate was women. Kerry came off as a blowhard, he has been shifting all over the place, yet he stood there and said, with a straight face, that his position has always been the same. Dubya spent the day comforting hurricane victems, Kerry spent the day getting a manicure. Women KNOW Dubya is a strong leader, yet he allowed Kerry to attack him unfairly and just stuck to his guns. Kerry looked like a bully blowhard to women! Dubya won the audience he was aiming at.
why do they keep having this moron richard holbrooke on
these shows ???.....what an annoying and arrogant piss ant
he is.....good fit with hamster boy.
Also, W is an "early to bed, early to rise" type - so he was operating past his bedtime - so to speak - I think that may be why he was tired - besides the fact that he "worked" today rather than being "pampered" at the spa....I was disappointed, but I think I am hypercritical. I wanted him (W) to knock it out of the part...and with the questions posed, I don't think that was in the cards....
Actually I was expecting that from Kerry and didn't see it in this debate. Bush IMO came off as distracted and tired. I think I'm looking at this pretty objectively.
