I'd love to believe what you are saying .I have a feeling Bush simply just blew it big time..I couldnt even watch him after awhile.SAD...Me thinks we're doomed..
Doomed? From 1 debate????? How can we be doomed from one debate??? There are two more debates and the VP debate to come up. We are not doomed. We know how Bush is. He is going to watch this debate, correct where he went wrong and the next one will be a knock out punch!
W made sense in the debates, Kerry said a lot of unrelated nonsense. Maybe it will sink in and work for W.
But Kerry spoke of essential giving up, while acting the fighter.
Dubya spoke of a successfull no holds bar war, while acting reserved and meek.
Old adage is that the sqeaky wheel gets the grease, and that Dubya didn't .
Have a drink and get a hold of yourself, man. I agree Bush could (and should) have put in a better performance tonight but I don't think it's quite the catastrophe you're making it out to be. The country's had 4 years of this president. Those who have come over to his side in the past few months already know he's not the Henry Higgins of speech makers. They're going to vote for him because of his record. Effin was glib and smooth and I think he may finally see his "bounce", but I don't think it's going to be substantial enough or last long enough to win the election.
Yes, you Dems are doomed. Tell you buddies over at DU we said hello.
