It will take a few days before we know if the first presidential debate in Florida will have any lasting effect on the race itself, but from my point of view, it won't.
Senator Kerry acquitted himself well during the ninety minutes of thrust and parry that essentially comprised this debate. While winning on style and composure, he lacked on fact and the ability to inspire belief in regard to a Kerry presidency.
It has been rather warm lately...
I think something weird is going on. I think psychologically Bush does not wish to "beat" his father and get two terms. He's tired and seems to have internalized the left's critique which is why he won't respond to Kerry's character attacks.
A Bush loss might be helpful to the war effort since Kerry can go nuclear without the New York Times or CBS doing coverage of the dead.
I thought we just stepped into fall???? Did you mean summary?
Your FR handle saves me from having to call you a troll..
