Yep, me too. I think Bush came off very poorly in the debate and to try and convince myself otherwise would put me on the same level as the Kerry Koolaid drinkers. Despite that, it's just one debate, most polls haven't shown a big effect from it, and Bush has plenty of time to make a better showing. It's still Bush's race to lose.
Bush had more meat. Kerry more desert. Most people will vote based on who they think will kill more terrorists, no matter how the polls wiill fluctuate with people thinking "maybe" one way or other til then.
Get a grip. No one thinks Bush is a good talker. He looked pissed off and tired. But look at the numbers--the mass of voters think Bush the better leader. Gee, wonder who they'll vote for for their LEADER--the better leader, maybe?
