so much for fox news being ultra-conservative and biased eh?

[/ QUOTE ]Except a few minutes later the commentators claimed the crowd was chanting "Four more years" and "Scary Kerry".

Some of the morons I know who watch FoxNews believed it wholeheartedly too, and cited it as evidence that Bush blew Kerry away ...

Bush won.

When William Salentan, Josh Marshall, Andrew Sullivan and Kos (all ultra-leftists) call it a draw or Bush win, you know Kerry tanked.

Even the mainstream media thinks it was a draw. When MSM says draw, they mean Kerry was crushed. Even, L.A. Times can't even argue for a Kerry win.

Look at the Bushies vs. Kerryites. The Bushies are much happier than Kerryites.

In light of ABC news picking the questions and Gallup stacking the audience, Bush did well.

Have some more Kool-aid.

By the way Andrew Sullivan, is hardly a liberal, he planned on voting for Bush, but decided against it because of his desire for a constiutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage.

Default bush & mistakes

For the life of me I cannot fathom why Rove didn't provide Bush with a couple "mistakes" that he could let loose of if that question came up. Something along those lines should have been in the playbook for the prez along with the rest of the canned rhetoric Bush let loose of during the second debate. Perhaps Karl decided that their situation was so fragile that any new openings for the Dems are to be avoided.
Sadly for all of us in the USA, the world was watching Bush display his administration's and the GOP's slavish, blind adherence to a, morally bankrupt, political ideology.

GWB smoothed out his delivery a tad but he still has yet to stray from his stump speeches.
Kerry is the next President.

I am a libertarian. Not right wing. Have not voted for a major party candidate in a presidential election since 1988.

I convinced three people into voting LP instead of Bush in 2000. Counting my vote, I was responsible for 4 people who otherwise would have voted for W. instead not voting for him.

Nice try with the label though. Better luck next time.

Absolutely. You think these debates are about the issues? We have heard all this stuff before. It's style, baby. Neither candidate has changed their stance since the first debate, so why the different result? Because their style did change.

All the conservative I know that W blew in the first debate.

Most conservative columnists as well.

Also, W thought so.

People mention the loaded question for Bush on admitting 3 mistakes as being a poor choice by Charlie Gibson, maybe so. I think he had to pick something harsh on Bush to make up for allowing the "Will you look into the camera and pledge not to raise taxes" question for Kerry. There was only one obvious answer to that question, and we know how that worked out for GHWB. Should we just start saying one-term Kerry now?

[/ QUOTE ]

Huh? That was a great question for Kerry. A tough question would have been to ask for an unqualified pledge.

The 200k limitation is pulled straight from Kerry's stump speech. Nice to get a question that meshes precisely with your platform and asks you merely to pledge no more than you have promised on the stump.
