Bush: "I'm a pretty calm guy, I don't take it personally." LOL!

Kerry: "Now we have this incredible mess in Iraq, blah blah."

If you like reality let me give you a ~slap~ to bring you back to it.

Bush did great. Lehrer asked last question about Russia and if President misjudged him. Bush handled it ably.

Ha! Kerry takes opportunity to throw everything but the kitchen sink in "Mission Accomplished" and so on. Lehrer tries to get Bush to say he's irked. Dubya says he's a calm guy and doesn't take it personally.

Kerry says IT WAS A THREAT. It's how you handle it.

Bush wins.

When I can come up with arguments--and I'm not very smart--Bush ought to be able to come up with the same arguments.

If this debate is about style, Kerry wins, hands down.

I'm GLAD Bush hasn't cleaned Kerry's clock. Luring him into the later debates... ;-)

Seriously, I think Bush is doing the right thing. He doesn't want to be dragged down to Kerry's level of bitching and moaning. OTOH, Kerry is kinda smacking Bush around a little on Iraq...

Dollars and cents don't lie. If "Tradesports" has Bush increasing as it does now, he won, end of story.

Congratulations. For what it's worth, your post is my favorite of the evening. Sorry there is no accompanying prize.

Seriously, it is good to hear that.

Bush is not looking weak, he's looking like a leader with class...

Kerry's lost this thing.. he's looking meaningless, petty and arrogant.

I love Bush, but I'd like to slap him.

Kerry is a big fat target and Bush is missing every opportunity hit him.

This is very frustrating.

Thank God it is about over. I can't stand to listen to Kerry any longer. He is now interrupting and Bush has the class not to say anything.

Someone needs to post links to post-debate polls other than just general URLs. Sorry, but I got on those website and couldn't find anything about debate polls.

An essential part of ths debate is the after action reports and analysis that will take place in the coming days. It will emerge that Bush is kicking his butt.

i hate to have to say this, but i think those who say that Bush is winning this debate re whistling past the graveyard.

Bush is getting his ass whipped, and the tragety is he doesn't have to.

KERRY:"I'm going to shut that[bunker buster] program down."

I thought this was the most telling statement Kerry made yet, showing he is still the unilateral disarmement pacifist that he has always been. I hope the conservative press and RWR pick up on this.

Bush is winning.

Check the minuite by minute tradesports graph. Bush has been trending up since the debate began.
