so? did any of you watch the whole thing this morning? i wasn't about to lose any more sleep this week but i was able to watch a rebroadcast on CNN at 11am...the truth is, i only 'watched' when kerry spoke. i can't not stomach the sight of that smirking chimp...
from the feedback i'm getting from my friends in the states, Kerry came out on top...he certainly looked the role. bush still reminds me of the class bully...
what a jerk.

bush definitely needs to get prepped better and should avoid looking at his cheat sheet with the associated pause while in the middle of a sentence trying to make a strong point, defusing an attack, or remembering the name of the terrorists he is after....what's his face again?
maybe he is already prepped to the fullest and that's all his mental capacity will support...

Its the end of Kerry and a victory for freedom and the war on terror. Bush will win the next election according to these new polls.
First some numbers: The polls continue to say President Bush leads the senator by about six points. "The L.A. Times" poll released a few hours ago has it at Bush 51, Kerry 45, Nader two.
So it is clear nationally the president is holding his lead. But more troubling for Mr. Kerry is the battleground state situation. Here in Florida, for example, a brand-new Gallup poll says Bush is up nine. You may remember "Talking Points" predicted the president would win Florida.
In Ohio, Gallup (search) has Bush up two. In Pennsylvania, Bush by three. In Michigan, "The Detroit Free Press" has Bush up two. And in Wisconsin, a Harris poll has the president up a whopping 10 points.
That means that if John Kerry does not win the debate this evening, he likely will not win the presidency, unless something enormous happens in the next five weeks.
You almost have to feel sorry for John Kerry. He's in a tough spot. As you saw all this week on “The Factor”, President Bush is going to come out optimistic. He's going to say America will prevail in Iraq, win the war there, that we are safer because Saddam's out, and that the economy is good. The president will be optimistic on almost everything. And in a time of terror, that is comforting to many.
Senator Kerry, on the other hand, has to be pessimistic. He has to tell you things are not going well. In order to replace Mr. Bush, Kerry has to convince you the country's going down the drain. Obviously, that's not comforting.
Also, Kerry can't be too mean to the president because Americans generally like Mr. Bush personally. Kerry can't go too negative because the senator himself has to be likable in order to win the election.
So you can see John Kerry has a tough road here.
