I'm puzzled at the president's apparent lack of preparation. He should have absolutely nailed Kerry in this debate, but seemed very hesitant

If Bush nailed Kerry, he would demonstrate that he is a cowboy. By being polite, reflective and hesistant he comes accross as someone who comes to his conclusions thoughtfully. On the other hand Kerry comes accross as boastfull, arrogant etc. all the negative attributes Bush is supposed to have.

I'm even beginning to wonder that the long pause before answering was done purposefully.

I wish the President had asked Kerry to clarify his statement on giving nuclear fuel to Iran.
