Just for the Record Kerry Wins, not a homerun or blowout but a credible win, I think this goes a long way to getting these polls even or plus Kerry in the next few days
Kerry was clear, concise, he did not go over the time limits,
While Bush was stammering, hesitating, looking down to read his notes too much, went over his time limit, seemed tired
2 big Bush mistakes was when he said the enemy attacked us when the question was whether you would ever preemptively attack another nation
Kerry caught that and said Bin Laden attacked us on 9/11 not Saddam, he made Bush repeat this in his rebuttal, something a good debater will try and do, make your opponent have to repeat a central argument of yours
Secondly in response to Kerry talking about the need to spend more money for homeland security, securing nuclear plants etc., Bush said well how is he going to pay for it
So basically Bush is saying the protection of the homeland has a price tag, big mistake, there were others, those were the big 2 that popped out to me
Curious to what you thought
