Kerry is throwing eight things ast Bush in every answer. that is unnerving to Bush but Kerry comes across as scattered.

Bingo. Watching the split-screen on CSPAN, it's clear that Bush is reacting to Kerry's words emotionally, and chugging down the glasses of water, while Kerry is cool and more statesman-like. I love Dubya, but that's how I see it on TV...

I feel EXactly the same way. He's pissed and I don't blame him. I get extremely pissed when kerry talks. at least I can leave the room. Kerry is coming off as the pompous a$$ that he is.

I have to agree. I almost feel sorry for Bush. He has not done well while Kerry, despite his record of flip-flops has shown himself to be a good debater. He is a liar though...he just said that he has never waivered. I don't know that this debate will make a difference in the election though. As another poster said, it's like watching a train wreck.

I thought Bush was doing terrribly the first 30-40 minutes but once he calmed down he started to hit his stride.

He may have been a little nervous but I think it was Kerry's lies that got him riled more than nervousness.

Overall I have to say Kerry did better as a debator but Bush sounds passionate in defending his policies. That has to count for something.

"WHAT NICE THINGS CAN YOU SAY ABOUT YOUR OPPONENT"? What the bloody hell moddle school crap is THAT,for a presidential debate?

One that allowed Bush to give his best response yet...and that Kerry failed.

Kerry can not be nice...because he is not nice.

Maybe we're not all viewing this through rose-colored glasses...

I don't say this lightly, but with this debate, the 527s, the media, and the obvious unwillingness to fight back on Bush's part, we're looking at Kerry for at least 4 years...That's the first time I've ever felt that way... The race is his to lose from now on.

SAY NUCLEAR, NOT NUCULAR!!!! Jeez!!!

W is winning. But I am so bored with this whole thing. It's not really telling us anything new. They keep going round and round. I'm also sick of Lehrer's unfair tilting toward Kerry. He is disgusting. Even with an unfair "moderator" Bush is winning. It's also way too long at 90 minutes. Zzzzzzz.

Glad to hear it. I've been watching your posts and I've been busy praying. But I haven't watched the show. Just can't stand it.

Well, Jim Lerher, how about asking that piece of garbage Kerry why he called us "baby killers" ?

Oh, that might upset your left-wing apple cart trying to elect Kerry.

Tell us how we're murderers in Nam, how we're troops for "Jingus Khan" killing women, children and babies.

Kiss my Marine Corps ass.

And God bless the heroes on the wall.

Kerry, or you Lehrer, will never understand that.

Bush got him on "core" factor, Kerry has no core. He was born without one.
Go George, go G. Kick butt!!!

Kerry saying "I've never, ever wavered in my life" makes me want to just slap the piss out of him and stick a bar of soap in his mouth.
