Orange you are wrong about that, in most of the races where there was a debate, the debates, especially the first debate has had a significant impact on the polls

I don't think I said unknown, although polls have consistently showed that 20 percent don't feel they know enough about him

My point was the same with Reagan, he was painted a certain way with the voters, until he was able to appear in the debate mano a mano, they say he was not what Carter had painted

same deal here

The flipflopper thing is not the big issue, after the convention Kerry closed the gap on who's the better leader on iraq and the war on terror, the swift boat ads and other Bush attacks questioned that and Kerry's numbers sank, I think tonight he showed he will be tough on terror
