Definately. Substance, style.
Kerry was off his game tonight and didn't seem to have a flow. It was just a hodgepodge of things he threw out with no clear "message" for people to take away from the debate...save one. He's now a full fledged, out of the confessional, Religious Politician. He's taken the cross out of his pocket and put it squarely on his shirt sleeve.
The question is - is he just holding it there? Or is it for real.
Hmm...
Bush - winner 2 of 3 debates.

Please, get a grip there Mr. Flyover Country Man, Kerry won this debate. Kerry won all of the debates. The 2nd one by the lowest margin, but he still won them all. Talk about flow. What, the drool dripping down Bush's face?Bush - winner 2 of 3 debates.

Probably closer to the truth than any of the others. (even if 8% more republicans than Dems or Independants)
Considering Democrats were represented about 38% and Republicans 35% in the last election, those poll results show a solid win for Kerry.Originally posted by: Engineer

Especially given the President's educational background!
Phillips Academy, Yale, and Harvard. Wasted money?

Not sure how Kerry won this deabte. He spent half the night defending himself and the other half saying he has a plan but not explaining what it is. Bush also answered the marriage amendment question perfectly where Kerry had to resort to the low blow of bringing up Cheneys daughter again.
Bush at least outlined his plan for taxes, health savings plan, education, and social security.
I would give this a 60-40 win for Bush. And I agree the 1st debate went to Kerry to the tune of 70-30, the 2nd debate was a tie.
Amazing debate results imo. In the debates where both were supposed to be strong they faltered. Bush didnt do so hot on foreign policy and Kerry just bumbled around on domestic issues.
Going to be a damn close race imo.

What a grand opportunity to UNITE and not stay DIVIDED.
To Bush's credit, his high/buzz/whatever wore off in the last several minutes and he actually became coherent.

What is the Rep/Dem breakdown, this matters a lot. That poll has a much higher Kerry win % then the ABC poll even if you normalize the abc poll.

Wow... Bush is very calm and relaxed... he seems to be enjoying this debate.
Since when did health insurance become a guaranteed right?

:roll: No, there is no wambulance. It's the truth and we've discussed it here at length. They are not open to him or his agenda - they were openly hostile. They have marginalized themselves by their own actions.

Didnt the leader of the NAACP call Bush Hitler?
I dont care how much reaching out you need to do. If somebody equates you to Hitler just leave them alone. They wont listen to you anyways.
But Bush could run on his record of having 3 African Americans in his Cabinet. How many did the NAACPs favorite Clinton have?
