I agree that Kerry won on style points. I think Bush should have been more aggressive in his own defense. I only watched a few minutes since I couldn't get good reception on the TV at the office, but I had the feeling I get in trial when my client or witness is being cross-examined. I wished I could just testify for them...:-) I always know what happened better than people who were there............

I did not view it as defensive, but rather Bush rebutting each of kerry's attempts at cutting the administration's performance. I was disappointed that Bush wasn't more aggressive. He wasn't in the debate with Gore either. Bush failed to use 9/11 and its aftermath ot his advantage. And he should have shined the light more directly on kerry's flip flops by specifically pointing out a couple. Overall, I saw it as a draw. kerry gets points for being aggressive for high quality BS when he was tossing around "his numbers".
