**Of course he blew him away in substance! I just hope the "undecideds" and others can see thru Kerry's slickness to the passion and substance the Pres. showed. I thought the Pres.' 'hesitation' seemed like he was uncertain at times, tho I KNOW he was just gathering his thoughts. He also needs to work on his "annoyed/pissed off" face so it's not quite so lemon-sucking-like. I'm sure you've read/heard that even tho people thought Kerry "won" the debate, of the undecideds who make a decision based on the debate, 10% said Kerry and 12% Bush. I think/hope he'll do a lot better next week in the town hall format, when he can just talk to "people".**

At first I thought GWB looked tired but then I thought no he is irritated and annoyed and is trying to control anger as Kerry's lies and flip flopping. I think he would have done better to have had a pop at Kerry got it out of his system and then concentrated on the debate IMHO he spent more time trying to control his anger than the actual debate.

Having said that his content was good better than Kerry but his presentation was not. I am certain his advisers had told him not to get angry/emotional at Kerry but I think this did not work.

I agree with you he will do better at the Town Hall type Q and A but the last debate he must not look pissed off with Kerry or irritated.

Having said all of this I think GWB got some good points over and he has on the stump made the points and answered Kerry's claims at the debate well but how many people will hear this. All in all I do not think that this will affect election race that much especially if GWB does well in the next 2 debates and also the Vice President on Tuesday. I think more peole than usual will tune in on Tuesday mainly because Edwards keeps sniping at Cheney and a lot of people think Edwards will murder Cheney (especially the RATS) but IMHO myself and a lot of people on FR feel that Cheney will in fat eat Edwards alive; slice and dice. I think Edwards and the RATS will be surprised on Tuesday.

Sorry I posted 3 times but it is going so slow that I must have clicked post several times because I did not think anything was happening. I think they are putting extra servers on so this is why I am experiencing problems duirng this maintenance.

RE: The debate

I think Cheney will have a great time slicing and dicing Edwards, and I think I'm going to enjoy every second of it.

Maybe GWB's perceived poor performance will get more people to tune in and see him do (God willing) WONDERFUL.
