Since you are so critical of the man that we know is honest and is truly trying to protect this country, would you mind giving an explanation of what Kerry said or proposed that would make anyone choose him over Bush for the war on terror or homeland security?
That was the debate topic and I'd guess that the much touted "undecideds" tuned in to hear Kerry's plan. What was it? We know the president's.
What exactly caused Bush to place his head on that platter? Did I miss something?
Yes. The undecided voters are who these debates have an effect. Like it or not, presentation is everything to those who don't follow politics as close as people like us. Kerry hammered on Iraq and gave the President many openings to give specifics on our successes there. Instead, he kept to the same talking points of "hard work" and "free Iraq" and "offensive". He should put it in terms JoeSixPack understands and can relate to.
I do give him credit for his closing remarks.
