Cogent, thorough analysis. Although every item you mention
is enough to sink Kerry, the GLOBAL TEST is his most deadly
misque.

Let's just beat that one with every statement Kerry
makes. Kerry says he has a plan. OK, does it pass the GLOBAL TEST. ect., ect.

I was feeling pretty down yesterday, but now I'm over it. I still say Bush needs to do much better in the next two debates, but I no longer think Thursday night was fatal.

If you give Kerry enough rope, he'll hang himself. He'll say ANYTHING, and that will be used against him.

Most likely one of the reasons that the Bush camp agreed to go with 3 instead of 2 debates was just the point you made.

Kerry is a walking talking gaffe making machine.

There is not one week that goes by where Kerry doesn't sticks his foot in his mouth.

"By his own admission, he was registering a “protest vote” over a tax cut he disliked. We are to conclude that the man asking us to trust him with the safety of our families thinks it is okay to deny body armor and other needed supplies to our troops because he didn’t get his way on a tax bill? Little wonder folks don’t trust Kerry to defend them."

By his own admission, then, he hates tax relief more than he hates terrorists.

He is the wrong candidate, at the wrong time, in the wrong country.

Better yet he needs to run ads saying he will GIVE Iran NUCLEAR FUEL..just to test them

Then add in the his quotes to KILL the Bunker busters and missile defense systems. If done right it will look like sKerry is leaving the US or Israel wide open for a nuke attack by Iran.

The RNC could (will) make several commercials from Kerry's performance.

On the other hand, W was disciplined and didn't get off message, didn't make any mistakes, didn't give the dems anything to use against him.

Let them think they won the debate. Let them enjoy their little delusion. Karl Rove is a genius!

Kerry got the questions beforehand. Look at the transcript.

At one point he says to Lehrer, "I understand we'll be discussing homeland security later."

How did he know that?

If done right? if he gets the chance, that is what he said he would do!!on so many levels he's sKerry!

The day a nuke pops in the US, the Constitution is suspended and whom ever at the top will be KING until he says he's done. Now think sKerry some more.

Yes, I remember him saying that. I fleetingly said to myself "how does he know"? ....then I dropped the thought as the debate went on.

I cracked up my wife (and scared my kids), when I jumped up and shouted after Kerry's remark,

MY PLAN FOR WINNING THE WAR ON TERROR IS TWO-PRONGED: ONE, I WILL HAVE A SUMMIT, THEN

TWO: I'M GOING TO HAVE JOHN EDWARDS SUE THE $HIT OUT OF OSAMA!

Did anybody else get the same impression of Kerry's remarks?

From what I hear, Osama's already submitted his absentee ballot for Kerry.

Well, he said a lot of crap Thursday & our side did nothing to use it against him, they let it slide.

What are they waiting for?

Don't count on that.. Oprah has just activated the ditz vote.. Millions of "super feelers" feel very stongly about whatever Oprah is "feeling".. and since Dr. Phil is her "bitch".. him too. Add cBS, nBS, aBS and of course pBS.. and we're talkin serious propaganda.. Women have been bred to be "dupes" for thousands of years.. kind of like domestic dogs and cats.. they are what they are.. Why does a "pointer"(dog) point.?. He can't help it.. Any normal dog would run after birds.. but pointers just assume that ridulous stance when "senceing" a bird.. like democrats eyes glaze over when presented "THE TRUTH"... They can't help it..

I think it has more to do with the hand of God.

Like this?

Perhaps the most famous or infamous goal ever to have been scored in FIFA World Cup[tm] history: in the quarter-final between Argentina and England, Diego Maradona beats Peter Shilton to a high ball and scores... with his hand! The Albiceleste number ten later refers to it as the "hand of God" by way of a justification. The goal unlocked the door to the semi-finals and eventual success for Argentina.

My wife, no political junkie, and I watched the debates. I thought Bush was thrashed. My wife said that no unbiased woman in America would trust Kerry with the safety of her children.

I think she was right.

I wouldn't let Kerry get any momentum out of the debate, they should hit him hard over his outright lies to a National audience.
