How much erosion of support do you think Kerrry will get from all this hawkish foreign policy talk?

Kerry tried to take all the best Bush has done and take credit for it before-the-fact.

In other words, he kept saying he would "hunt down and destroy Islamic terrorists wherever they may be" and then on the other hand followed that up with promising to be the first one to bring the troops home.

I didn't see a single thing new in the entire debate.

(Howlin pointed this out - I think it is a very accurate summation of who the debate winner is.)
