Few people are approaching Kerry and everyone is crowding around Bush. Looks like a political statement to me!
I'll take any opportunity to post a Dubya picture. ;) I have to watch tonight's debate again just to see him walk all over kerry. He had sauce in his stride tonight.
He sure did light up the room! If winning the debate is based on how the audience reacted, it is President Bush hands down. He got laughs out of the audience three or four times. sKerry tried and "flopped" miserably.
The other thing I noticed was that one of the smiling people huddled around the President after the debate was the man who asked the question about the environment. While the Pres was answering the question, I told my husband that the man did not look convinced about the answer. And yet there he was rubbing elbows with Bush - NOT KERRY - after the debate.
Stick a fork in him....Kerry's finished!
You must remember that Bush has one more debate, and you DO NOT use all your ammo when you face another battle. Look how redundent lurch was when he restated (tonight) his "talking point attacks" from the last debate! Bush needed to keep some of his powder dry.

DAG I wish I was in a big room with all of you right now!
Any Maryland, Virginia, D.C. Freepers getting together election night? I wanna be there!
All Bush needs to do in the third debate is hammer home this message,it's easy to talk issues,quote people ,numbers and plans.But actions speak much louder than words.Kerry records shows he talks differently than he acts.How can Americans trust this man to lead!
My husband said the same thing. In particular the women and how the swarmed to Laura Bush. Mama T was all alone. =)
I was cheering after the first or second question. I cheered so much cant remember the sequence.
Wow! If he were only a Vietnam veteran, too, wouldn't that be the whole package...
I recorded the whole thing to one of my HDs. From what I saw was Kerry trying to change the discussion 3 times. And it didn't work. Kerry came up with a distraction and Bush slammed him, and then went back to what Kerry said. Watch again and count!
"Kerry's daughter walked up and hugged him. She looked on the verge of tears."
Kids don't have good poker faces, I noticed that big time too!!
"Tell me three of your worst mistakes.Come on. . .that was plain wrong and an attack on the president."... I agree, it was an untimely question, but I think Kerry blew it. He piled on about Bush's mistakes. The implication of the question was to talk about your own mistakes. If Kerry had talked about his own mistakes, he would have showed humility, and would have gained votes by showing he was a regular guy. If he had shown courage in taking on the question, he would have gained.
You can bet those two Rino's will be OFF the Christmas list!!!!!

exactly...Bush shined tonite. Who does America feel safer with? That crowd said it all.
Kerry can't touch that. He doesn't even understand it.
Kerry looked like a ghoul his eyes were sunken in and he had huge bags under his eyes>
Do you need some wood? LOL
You Can't Hide
made Kerry pucker.
