Bush is losing the debate.. I can't take it anymore..Why wont he fight back!!!
The spin seems to be "No knock out blow.."
I had no idea it was gonna be so entertaining
Kerry definitely Presidential, Bushie definitely poodle.
George Bush was in no way, shape or form prepared for this debate tonight.
He played the cowboy well, but the petulant little president is very unappealing
You know it's clean sweep for Kerry when Joe Scarborough calls it for him.
Kerry 84% bush 12% on cnn poll.
Prior to tonight I had doubts that Kerry would win. I feel 99% certain he will win now.
Just watched NBCs last piece with 6 undecided Ohio voters. All 6 said Kerry was better
Kerry: packed way more substance; ear for detail and able to ad lib a point.
Kerry really *did* come off as very dignified, gracious, statesmanlike.
Cleaned His Clock !!!!
My high school debate club was more polished. This guy is an embarassment.
Even resolute Republicans are changing their minds after this debate.
The single-term Bush family tradition will continue.
I fearfully tremble at the prospect of his next Olympian effort at the townhall debates.
Kerry looked Presidential, Bush looked like he was running out the clock.
"The right-wing blogs went nuts with disappointment" after the debates.
It's amazing what being able to talk like a grown-up can do, isn't it?
I thought he'd be good but I never imagined ...
How could a supposedly sober G.W. look so incredibly drunk?
From those early polls Kerry moved voters! yeeessss!
there was this one dude named John that was beating the crap out of this other dude
Bush did a brilliant job of lowering expectations for the next two debates.
I thought that Kerry was poised, confident, knowledgeable, and clear.
Here's the problem - this was way too much of a Kerry victory. I smell a rat.
come back from "help is on the way" was childish.
Jon Stewart gently eviscerated Giuliani. He really is the only real journalist on TV.
It looks like the big quote among the wire services is "colossal error in judgment".
They got nothing. NOTHING.
Bush angry and confused. Kerry clear and unflustered.
What a pathetic performance by Bush. Simply repeating the same two talking points over and over is meaningless. Anyone over a 2nd grade level would be offended by the transparent manipulation of it. Bush is a crappy product, and fear is his spin team's only marketing tool. I think its effectiveness is waning on the American public, but since they only know one trick, I expect a raise in the terrror alert level to counteract Bush's poor debate performance.
I've never seen an ass whipping in a political debate as I saw tonight. Kerry just rolled Bush.
Tonight was amazing, way beyond my wildest expectations, and.....
Listening to callers on radui who are for Bush, and they're making excuses....
Anybody who takes as much goddamn vacation as he does has no business being tired. Ever!
you can tell how bad chimpy did, all his surrogates look shell shocked.
El Smirko sure was drinking a lot of water.
Wanna know what's lame? "It's hard work doing president things!"
We are in danger now. Bush's people know he just lost the election, minus a major October surprise.
I'll bet I sleep soundly tonight.
"I know how the world works!" That line didn't work on my parents when I was 19.
McCain just said that Bush won the debate, but Kerry did a decent job.
We can't afford homeland security? WE CAN'T AFFORD HOMELAND SECURITY!?
Yes, here at Eschaton the joy is amplified by the silence of trolls.
Howard Fineman just said, "Bush had about 30 minutes of material for a 90 minute debate."
Bush puts his daughters on a leash???
I don’t think the thugniks were prepared for this at all
Kerry wins, you got the right idea, focus, we are all gonna stay focused.
