Debate
well, I don't think any remotely objective observer could claim victory for Bush. I wouldn't call it a Kerry grandslam either, but Kerry was definitely more poised, and seemed well prepared for Bush's obvious and repeated attacks.
Bush, on the other hand, found the debate to be hard work. He may even have thought they his campaign picked the wrong issues, in the wrong place, and at the wrong time. Further, he sent mexed missages about North Korean.
But in all seriousness, Kerry addressed some of the things he needed to address, while Bush looked annoyed and angry. Advantage Kerry.
Of course, what is even more important is the spin, and CNN was downright shameful. Their analysts clearly prepared their comments on the basis of what they were told Bush was going to say ahead of time. They repeatedly proclaimed that Bush said something he simply had not said. He may have wanted to say it, and he may have meant it, but he objective did not utter the words. We'll see how the rest of the "liberal" press does tomorrow.
