Mor-TON said that BUSH started strong and forceful...momentum swung later, BUT BY THEN, MANY FOLKS HAD LOST INTEREST AND SWITCHED CHANNELS
Kristol said Kerry "survived."
At the absolute worst, this debate was a draw. Bush and Kerry both had some highs and some lows. Both worked in their talking points, Kerry probably a few more.
Absent any outright gaffes, nobody's vote was changed tonight. For my money, W. did exactly what he needed to do. :)
Once again the talking heads are just out of it.
