The average Joe on the street not knowing squat about the real issues (which is a large number) would lean to Kerry because Kerry is actually a better debater (read: politician) than Bush is.
Kerry of course flip-flopped several times on present and past positions on Iraq followed always by his promise to pull the troops out before Bush would.
Kerry never gave a real plan on Iraq and never really showed any leadership at all whereas Bush gave realistic answers ("We're not going to pull out of Iraq until we reach the objective of bringing freedom and democracy to the people of Iraq.")
Neither gained much more than what they had when they went into this debate and it was so boring I fell asleep and had to rewind to see what I missed.

Bush won big.
Don't kid yourself.
Kerry is through.
John Kerry's debating skills and persuasive abiliities never seemed to produce any evidence of any legistlative results in his 20 years in the US Senate.
Lots of silver-tongued professionals in the Senate.
In private industry Kerry was a crooked partner.
In the DA's office he was a climbing back-stabber who finally got booted out.
In Viet Nam his so-called "2 tours" were for only 19 missions over 4 months.
At Yale Kerry got lower grades than GW Bush.
In the US Senate and on the Senate Intelligence Committe he was missing 86% of the time.
The difference between myself and Irish John Kerry is I can whip him in any debate using truth as Kerry only spews his cowardly lies and "world view". I never hesitate.... And I never lose to losers like John Kerry.
P.S. - Comparing himself to Jack Kennedy who only had a 119 is a losing comment - The IQ may be about the same but JFK knew when to keep his mouth shut, if not his fly.
John Kerry: The 14% Solution!
SS for less than 35 days now John.....
