I dunno. Bush had a couple of significant stumbles. His closing statement was good, but they have been writing it for a week. On content he just seemed lost at times. Still, it was a much closer debate.

Bottom Line all these Debates are nothing more than there own political commercials. The only difference being is its live and both candidates are in the same room. Other than that its the same old party line rhetorhic. It's like watching the WWE, scripted , rehearsed and well planned. Was waiting for Al Gore to run onto podium with the football and slam Bush in the back of the head all the while the rest of the Democratic wrestlers beat down "W" . Then when all hope was lost ,......wait is it , it is here come Rudy and McCain to rescue "W".
We were at one point in time worried about actors becoming politicians , I think a bigger worry now is that Politicians are becoming entertainers.

HAHAHA yeah that makes sense about the spinners.......... I would agree with you about the content RPM, kerry did sound better and had more. My point was just that I felt that I could have said exactly what either canidate was going to awnser before they did. What I mean is that it was nothing new or exciting, thats why I had to look for something different to base the win on and I thought if you look at who was more human or likeable bush won that. We all know who wins on certain topics because both have their strong points so the debate really doesnt change that much.

Blah blah blah blah I've never made a bad decision blah blah blah.

You weren't listening. He admitted he'd made some appointments he had to correct.

Biggest opportunity missed:

"HELLO CLEVELAND!"

Bush's response to Kerry's tap dance on the abortion question was pretty funny. I think he should have applauded him. Kerry wins on theatrics, Bush on substance. Hmmmm, I'll go with substance.

I agree nobody was going to pull a rabbit out of their *** tonight. My analysis:

Bush seemed a bit less composed than Kerry, he lost his cool at times and had that "deer in the headlights" moment. Overall it was a much better performance than his last, but no better than a B.

Kerry also failed to say anything new, but he was sharp. He did have the one moment during the stem cell answer where he was searching for words, but the answer still was effective. Kerry didn't take any damage this round. Overall preformance A-.

No Jon Stewart tonight. Bill Mahr is on HBO tho.
