Bush is not as good of a speaker as Kerry, so I won't be suprised if Kerry is considered to "win" more of the debates. Still, how one composes himself during the debate isn't the most important issue... so I won't base my conclusion on how often one stuttered or made a funny face. Nerves are involved and they cause people to act ways they normally wouldn't.
bush did'nt have a clear answer for a single question... he didn;t have a single idea on how to move forward...
it was basically... vote for me... I have led you this far and I am consistent...
both of those things are logical fallacies... we are in the predicament we are wrt the quagmire in iraq because of the bush leadership, and bush has been far from consistent in his comments regarding the reasoning for us having gone into iraq in the first place...
what is more troubling is bush's fixation on iraq... he has an infatuation... he calls Iraq the central fight on terror even pre-invasion while it was clear that iran, pakistan and afghanistan were all more complicit in the events of 9/11... afghanistan was not taken care of adequately and thats a fact... regardless of what kerry has said, if anyone has watched the news involving iraq for the last few months it is absolutely clear it is an uphill struggle...
kerry's camp post debate focused on their candidates comments and what was the plan for moving forward...
bush's camp focused solely on painting kerry as a flip-flopper... if anyone watched the same debate that I did, I don't know how the hell you get that from his comments on the night but there the GOP was... deflecting from bush's incompetence much as bush deflected questions all night and has deflected good advice in favor of bad his entire presidency...
4 more years of deflections and wafflings and meanderings that lead us from quagmire to quagmire because the president has no clue, or a change of the guard and an idea that has been explained more clearly and on paper makes more sense?
I know which way i would lean if I was not voting for mc Cain already
