I am A bush fan, the first debate has ended, I would say "IF" I was "on the fence" I would lean towards Kerry. I think kerry ( although flipping, flopping and avoiding the questions) just nudged Bush out. Bush had some( very little ) but some substance to answering ( in the way mostly all polititions answer questions) some questions. Bush did repeat himself to often and did come across defensively,and sorta uncertain of himself. You could tell when he would FIRMLY deliver a line it was completely from a memorized script. Kerry came across Acting more intellegent ( if you could possibly project that word to either candidate). Bush positively came thru more at the end, but like I said (scripted). I noticed the body armor also on the back shots. The debate really did come off as two third graders in the school yard. One playing dodgeball, the other a whining clown.
In a nutshell, was nothing new. Kerry could score a few fence sitters, he's a better speaker of the two. Shot himself in the foot with the body armor remarks. Other than that, same ol' same ol'. I did walk away wishing Bush could be a little more like his old man.
Moderator did a good job, when GWB, used alittle more time or replied when he wasn't supposed to Kerry was given equal time to rebutt, thus giving GWB the respect that the president deserves while giving the opposition an even fighting ground and respect. Well done to the moderator, wish more talking was ANSWERS to the QUESTIONS.
if it was boxing 10 point MUST score.... Kerry 10 Bush 9.
If it was the olympics
Sticking to answering the questions. Both really sucked , Kerry's 20 years in the senate, at least he really learned how to side step q's
kerry:1.2
Bush:3.9
presentation:
Kerry 8.9
Bush 8.7
not letting them see you sweat:
Kerry: 7.8
Bush: 6.2
body armor:
Kerry 9.9 ( well fitting, hardly noticable)
Bush 7.9 (his squared off in the center of his back)
Syncronized sentences ( repeatative answers )
Kerry:6.9
Bush a perfect 10
My Final take, no movement, still a Bush Voter. Can't wait till the next debate. But Kerry eeked out a marginal victory this round.
