Thank you for that frank assessment. I respect your opinion. I thought that Kerry was benieth dignity when he attacked Cheney's daughter. IMO Bush won more than half the points. Kerry won only one, that was the Min Wages. Bush avoided the qquestion. There were several ties. Thanks.

>Oh well, very interesting nonetheless. I was wrong in predicting that Kerry's buttons can be pushed. In reality, the first debate alone pretty much saved Kerry's entire campaign, and the other two debates ensured that this race will once again go right down to the wire. Yeah, he seems pretty unflappable... but Kerry clearly pushed Bush's buttons... Bush was flustered for about ten minutes at the 20-minute mark and started spitting out "liberal" and "out of the mainstream" repeatedly, and it happened for a shorter span with about half an hour to go. But, he did a much better job than in the first debate, not quite as well as in the second. I thought Kerry won, but that's just me. -Z

Kerry faltered, IMO, on the issues of health care, social security, and the question of how he can afford all of his promises. - Bush faltered, IMO, on the question of affirmative action, minimum wage, and bipartisanship. - Both idiots flubbed the last question about their wives. Bush joked that his wife speaks better English than he does, thereby furthering the stereotype that he's a dumbass. But then Kerry snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when he joked that he married up, thereby furthering the stereotype that he's a male golddigger. Oh well, very interesting nonetheless. I was wrong in predicting that Kerry's buttons can be pushed. In reality, the first debate alone pretty much saved Kerry's entire campaign, and the other two debates ensured that this race will once again go right down to the wire. I tend to agree with you save the jobs issue and Bush. He kept trying to back away from that one.
