Kerry

And perhaps we should also add ... why?

Kerry. He was clear, concise, authoritative, and, well, presidential.

Bush stammered and stumbled a lot, couldn't answer the questions well, and couldn't admit that things in Iraq are a mess. He thinks that staying the course is more admirable than getting it right, and making course corrections to do so - even if it means you have to admit you made some mistakes.

To be fair, I was already voting for Kerry coming into tonight's debate, but he made it much much easier to do so.

There's an interesting article over to the CNN about people's reactions to the debate. Those that supported Herman Munster before the debate seem to think he won hands down. Guess what, though: the goobers on the other side think the Chief Monkey Puppet™ won the debate. I don't think the debates changed a single mind in America tonight. What a waste of good air time when we could have been watching cartoons or eating fish and chips at Starky's.

I don't think the debate changed a single person's mind. Both candidates came off as they have all along. One thing I caught that helped seal the deal for me not voting for Kerry was his ideas concerning what to do in Iraq and N. Korea.
I think his ideas for foreign policy are very suspect.
Then again, I won't vote for Bush either. Too bad Nader got thrown off the Oregon ballot.
