"Before you go off the deep end, please ask yourself a simple question: Can ANY human being on the planet explain John Kerry's "one" position on Iraq?"

I'm not off the "deep end", I'm merely saying that Kerry articulated his points and was more focused than our President. Deal with it. And deal with the impact that it may have on the undecideds. Remember, clinton won the presidency twice by being a strong convincing communicator.

Remember, clinton won the presidency twice by being a strong convincing communicator.

Why is that applicable here? I saw nothing about Kerry that was convincing tonight. I'll give him smooth. I'll give him polished. But smooth and polished don't necessarily lead to convincing.

Whatever Clinton's faults, he was good at connecting to the folks. Bush did a far, far better job of communicating to the folks tonight than Kerry did. Kerry probably picked up a few votes, but votes that would likely have come his way in the end anyway.

"I'm merely saying that Kerry articulated his points and was more focused than our President."

He DIDN'T articulate his points - maybe his attacks, but NOT his points. He didn't really have any. Nothing very memorable, anyway.

Bush did the same thing he always does -stay on message and repeat it often (and repeat and repeat). BTW, that's the way every democrat he's faced said he's defeated them.

I agree, but his points were gobbledygook that will not stand the light of day. Conversely, Bush didn't say anything stupid that will be used against him at a later date.
