I'm afraid so. For those who understand the facts and are truly informed on this issue, as most here are, the debates themselves are moot. The point is how this will come of the the swing voters who get their news from Dan Rather sound-bites, MTV, or the Daily Show. From that purely objective point of view I think this one will go in favor of Kerry's numbers.
I have my fingers crossed that I am wrong.
That's what I posted earlier today.
Kerry may have won on style and for a certain chunk of undecided voters out there, that may be all the reason they're looking for to vote for Kerry.
We all know Kerry is full of BS but Kerry wasn't aiming his comments at us tonight.
I share your concern. Kerry was inconsistent in his answers to a few questions, but Lehrer didn't call him on it and nor did GWB; I suspect many viewers probably didn't notice.
btw, i hope the sheeple don't see it the way i do, and i hope tomorrow's press will be more gracious than i am, but...
luckily, the MSM has been knocked down a peg or two by the Dan Rather incident. their influence is a bit less then it was just a few weeks ago.
