Exactly and a very good analogy of the situation.
My feeling is that Bush can never match Kerry in delivery. He can come close, but in the end Kerry will win on style points as he has in every election.
But this time he is dealing with a different animal, a national audience that has seen style before in the form of Bill Clinton and yes, even John Kennedy.
The style point will win the debate, but it does not translate to votes unless one candidate stumbles badly and offers up a sound bite that resonates.
This did not happen to anyone but Kerry tonight. Kerry's untrue statements and distortions can and should be repeated many times over the next week.
