Looks like a technical to me
I would judge the debate a win for Kerry but on technical points not a knock out. Neither side got in a knock out punch, neither side fell down. Kerry got in more good body jabs, and Bush stumbled a few times.
Bush made better use of the 1 minute extensions. Having Leher extend the questions when Bush wanted to say something, which Kerry never did. But Kerry was better on the rebounds then Bush and kept Bush from landing any heavy blows that way.
Both of the them made some statements I really question. Bush has a habit of taking credit for things he was forced to do against his will, mentioning Homeland security, going to the UN for backing and multiparty talks with North Korea. Kerry mentioned Bin Laden in Afgansitan, and his appropriations votes.
Looks like we are going down to the wire on this one, I just hope we can avoid a sudden death overtime like last election.
