FYI:

CNN / GALLUP POLL ON WHO WON DEBATE
Kerry: 53 Bush: 37

CBS POLL ON WHO WON DEBATE:
Kerry: 44 Bush: 26 Tie: 30

ABC POLL ON WHO WON DEBATE:
Kerry: 45 Bush 36: Tie: 17
FOX News' political contributors largely agreed that Kerry came out ahead.
When you see that on Fox News, you know Bush got toasted.

That had to of been the worse debate in U.S history. Bush said the same thing over and over and Kerry could couldn't give a straight answer.

I'm curious about what, specifically, you felt he didn't give a straight answer on? Not that I think you're wrong, just that you may have seen something that I missed.

I think Kerry gave more straight answers tha anyone anticipated, including myself. I was really glad he did though...He was very direct with his concerns with our current administration, eith statistics to back himself up. Also, Kerry didn't run back to what he was saying prior to a Bush response as his rebuttal. Rather, he'd tackle Bush's words head on. I truly and honestly think some people expect Kerry to be able to lay out his entire plan for Iraq and every other domestic policy within a two minute window. It's ridiculous.

Not to mention that it would be ridiculous to lay the plan out to the public anyway.

[COLOR=blue]"Kerry voted to use military force in Iraq but then voted against the administration's request for $87 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan"

"Kerry Voted For Authorization To Use Force In Iraq".
In the First Dem Debate, Kerry Strongly Supported President

The problem is a lot of really dense people think Kerry should be out there with pie charts and bar graphs describing all the minute details of what his administration would do, in order to believe he has a plan at all.

We need someone that stands his ground as a President. Even thought Bush has his problems. Mainly verbally . I think it wouldn't be in the best interest of the U.S to change President at this time.
