Bush II's performance in debates 1, 2, and 4 was not that encouraging to say the least A curious assessment of the three presidential debates. I thought Bush stunk in 1, tied in 2, and won in 3. Bush was never the greatest debater, and Kerry's rep for mental agility is much overstated. Bush gave him quite a few opportunities in the debates that Kerry just let go by. But then, people think Kerry is bright just because he's a pompous blowhard who says things in convoluted fashion. Kerry's bright enough, but no genius. Like Bush. Kerry's better verbally, Bush is much smarter emotionally; that's why Bush is the better politician, imo. I don't think Kerry would be able to function as President. At all. Half his voters want him to reverse Bush's policies, the other half to continue them more diplomatically. Kerry himself has never run anything or even wielded influence in the Senate. Kerry likes pondering 25 options before making any decision, and he procrastinates. And this is the opinion of his own aides! This is a recipe for total dysfunction.
