DEBATE RECAP: KERRY DIDN'T GET NEEDED KNOCKOUT
Kerry is behind Bush in the polls. He needed a major effort to make an impression on the American people on why he should be commander-in-chief. He had to shake things up, dramtically. John Kerry failed in that mission.

The Debate
First, a few views from others: Steven Green thinks Kerry won on points, but does not think it will make much of a difference. He gave Bush a B- for content and a C+ for delivery, while giving Kerry a...

I thought Kerry did well
Quite frankly Iâm not an unbiased viewer, but I thought John Kerry did well in tonightâs debate. He was well rehearsed, relaxed and pretty clear for John Kerry.

A Lively Presidential Debate: Will The Race Tighten?
You could sum up the first Presidential debate tonight as The Professorial Prosecutor versus the Convinced And Slightly Weary Incumbent. A ball wasn't hit out of the ballpark -- but it's now clear the game is far from over...and could

Debate #1 in the books and out to the blogosphere
The first debate between President Bush and Senator Kerry gave the American people a chance to see both candidates, together, debating homeland security and the war on terrorism. A quick round-up of the traffic jam

Not Quite Live Green is drunk; Joyner isn't. Goldstein is having fun with Photoshop. Bush and Kerry were both wearing bitchin' suits. And Lehrer did a nice job. Kerry is more polished, as you might expect. Sometimes it's painful to watch Bush struggle...

First Presidential Debate
In the first presidential debate the topic was foreign policy, which turned heavily towards Iraq for the first 30+ minutes. It is my opinion that John Kerry carried the first portion of the debate, not because of the issues, but because it appeared tha...

Debate Reaction

Two more cents: it isn't hypocritical to demand non-proliferation to terrorists and increase our nuke capacity. If you ask me we're the only co...
