I hope you are right but Bush didn't properly defend WHY he went to war with Iraq.
The thought of Kerry as President makes me ill.
Kerry made it clear that Iraq was a mistake which it wasn't. Bush should have driven home how when we are at war KERRY REFUSED A SUPPLEMENTAL. We were at war! Whether Kerry agreed with it or not - we don't punish our military with NOT giving them the equipment they need to be successful - Bush should have repeated that over and over again.
I just heard an NPR sound bite and the best they could do was play where Bush said that what Kerry suggested about Iraq was already being done. Bush just made it plain that Kerry is bringing bupkiss to the table so you may as well keep the known in office rather than this strange Kerry. He gave the rabid dog media tissue paper to chew on.
Bush didn't give the media anything to grasp and he came across as much nicer, more pleasant and down-to-earth than Kerry. Kerry was very grating and way too righteous for undecideds. Political diehards may dismiss nice but that may be the what makes or breaks this election
