Even Joe Lockhart admitted (though he didn't intend for us to know it) that it was at BEST for them a draw. Those of us who said Bush won were correct.

I just saw Lockhart say that Kerry won the debate BIG TIME. And most of the polls coming in agree.

Does Fox have any conservatives anymore?

Kerry never has lost a debate. I doubt he ever will on style points.

But, tonight Bush held his own and had Kerry on the ropes during the first half.

Bush then closed well which brought him back to even.

In a fight, the challenger has to win decisively and if not the tie goes to the one holding the title belt.

Bush won the debate by these rules.

Kerry will likely win the second debate on domestic policy. Democrats always do better of this area as that is their game.

Bush has a good chance to win decisively on the third and last debate during the open forum where the debate questions will once again turn to foreign policy and will be asked and answered in a forum that is good for Bush.

In the end, as in most recent elections, the voters will not move much. Their minds are made up or very close to it. The debates rarely sway anyone.

I don't care what these talking head idiots say. Elections do not pivot on debates.

As a Bush voter, we know this guy and we knew he would not out class Kerry. But, we also know that out here in the real world, fast talkin smart asses don't get much appreciation.

Ever!

Um, you do understand that I was citing what Lockhart was caught saying privately, right?

Are you going to believe his candid comment or the one he says for the teevee camera? Hmmmmmm?

LOL
