Debate Spin from Mike Reagan, Rudy, McCain, Edwards, Dick Morris, More NewsMax Staff Friday, Oct. 1, 2004 Sen. Richard Shelby The Republican Senator from Alabama was on Fox News Live, and remarked, "I have to say that I thought both President Bush and John Kerry did well in diiferent ways last night.
"President Bush talked of substance ... talked of being steady ... talked of leadership, and being Ccommander in Chief - President Bush was on the mark.
Sen. Kerry - as we all know, we debate here in the U.S. Senate every day; he's been here 20 years. He's a good debater - I think it was more style than it was substance.
"As the campaign wears on, and in the ensuing debates, I think the voters will see that President Bush is a real leader. Maybe not as a stylistic debater .. but a man that you can count on and be steady at the helm.
When asked by interviewer Birdgette Quinn whether Shelby though the president was 'smirking' last night, Shelby said, "I've known the president a long time .. I think [he] takes his job very seriously. It's not a smirk, it's a serious look. There's quite a difference"
