I thought Bush did ok on the first debate. If you listened to what they were saying and not how they were saying, Bush beat Kerry.
Kerry made several mistakes and even contradicted himself during the debate. For example, was the Iraq war a mistake or not? Or, Why should we be unilateral with North Korea but not with Iraq? And what did he mean by "Global Test?"
Bush and co. are hammering him about it now and people will soon fear the phrase "Global Test."
So, Kerry won on style, but Bush will be beating Kerry over the head with what Kerry said for the next week.
And what can Kerry use from the debate that Bush said? Nothing...
The best they could come up with was a video montage of Bush looking annoyed with a smirk here and there. As if the fact that your guy is ridiculous and annoying is a plus lol
