To the Editor:

The presidential debate on Thursday night showed a president with an uncomfortably weak grasp of the impact of his own decisions, and a challenger, John Kerry, who had intelligent, well-planned and achievable solutions to the many problems we face abroad.

The debate was about substance over ideology, and where Mr. Kerry outlined concrete steps, President Bush had a vague claim that "I just know how this world works."

Mr. Bush's lack of focus and surplus of confused misdirection have never been so obvious as now.

Even more embarrassing for the Republicans must be having to toe the party line and insist on a debate victory for Mr. Bush after such an obvious mismatch. Republican spin is looking less like solidarity and more like denial - or, worse, dishonesty.
