Yes, but do you think the average person will judge the debaters on the actual debate skills or points?
I don't thinks so. Alot of people will decide by how confident or assertive the candidate's are.
I think Pres Bush came off as defensive and unsteady. But I don't think that we're doomed as some others may think.
I hope the next debate is different.
I think Kerry came off stronger but ironically that may work against him. People want someone who isn't boastfull to be in charge of war, they want someone who reflects and struggles.
