"Bush is getting his ass kicked ... I have the same feeling about this debate as the first one ... he's on the defensive early and can't recover ... frankly, Bush isn't quick to respond and when he does ... his response, at best, is hesitant and unconvincing."

Can you be specific. Which response did he get "his ass kicked on"? Which reply did he not respond to quickly? Please... Be specific

Since the premise, structure of these debates is to pick apart the present administration, of course Bush will be on the defensive. He's defending his record. The questions are all aimed at knocking that down. It's the nature of the beast. Kerry now bragging about hunting with some sheriff and brings up Clinton. Again.
