Jiminey Christmas! I always thought I was the world's greatest pessimist, but c'mon! W is doing just fine. No one is going to change their mind on the debate. And that's fine.

Bush needs to stop hunching over... When shown from behind, as they're doing often, he looks awful, insecure... He needs to be erect.

Man, I don't know how so many of you see this 180 from me. I think that for those who don't know the truth (of Skerry's lies), he's going to convince many that HE's more qualified

His comment ..."Of course I know SBL attacked us. I know that"... What??? ARRRGGGHHH. He's doing AWFUL!!! Wake up folks, and be honest with yourselves.

Some of u are confusing Bush's passion, and righteous indignation with being flustered....Debates arent won on issues, theyre won on likability, and Kerry is a robot

Well we just lost the election

Well, there you damn losers go again.

Fair weather, gutless, jump on the winning bandwagon but run like a scaled dog at the first sign of trouble.

Pathetic.

Didn't he practice at all?! Geez....he has no facts and figures...Iraq is a huge success, but the American public needs him to clearly tell us...he ain't doing it.

PRAY FOR HIM.

Does John Kerry believe it's the federal government's duty to staff local firehouses?

Only today!

Sorry it took so long to get back to you!

Kerry, who was complaining that Bush didn't turn the whole shebang over to the UN, is upset that Bush had the Afghanis clean up their own country. Huh?

Bush should use Kerry's statement about separating the war from the warrior in bringing up Kerry's attacks against his fellow soldier's in Vietnam.

Kerry isn't answering anything. What is up with him? Just I've been in vietnam, I've got a plan, a SUMMIT? With terrorists?
Bush looks nervous but getting better. I just don't see how anyone thinks Kerry is solid on anything...........

I really have a good feeling about how George Bush is doing- strong and steady - Kerry is all over the place.

You're probably right but I understand everyone's panic.

The thing you have to ask yourself- has Kerry given any reason to vote FOR him? He's still stuck on Monday morning quarterbacking and blaming Bush.

Bush is making the tough decisions and taking the slings and arrows from a Democrat AND an "impartial" member of the Media Elite. This debate is a metaphor for the whole Bush presidency.

Bush seems a bit intimidated. Bush still has time, but if he doesn't turn this around, then Kerry's going to benefit quite a bit from this debate.

Perhaps. Tonight. The best thing that the President has going is that everything he's saying is straight from the heart. I hope folks can see that.

Kerry is no going to adopt the position that we had OBL cornered then we let him go?

W needs to stop jumping in as well- he needs to wait for Lehrer to give him teh 30 seconds, not just jump in.

Those comments by Kerry about talking is stupid. And then he says he will do better but never tells us HOW.

That is a big hole- he keeps saying "I'd do" This or that- and never says what he'd do exactly.

It is apparent now why the MSM never reports any good news out of Iraq: It dovetails right into Kerry's BS. It makes Kerry sound like he his telling the truth.
