Bush started horribly, finished decently.
Kerry won the debate. Had more facts, stayed on message better, seemed in control.

I don't agree with that assessment.
Kerry really wasn't very impressive.

No major gaffes from Bush, though (inexplicably) he seemed unprepared.

IMHO, he missed an opportunity to highlight Kerry's inconsistancy:

North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction, while starving its citizens.

Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom.

Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror.  The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and nuclear weapons for over a decade....

States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world.

~ George W. Bush, State of the Union Address, January 29, 2002

• When discussing Iraq, Kerry downplays the "coalition of the willing" and insists that Dubya should have had more UN and international participation and negotiations.
• When discussing North Korea, Kerry wants to abandon use of Chinese, Russian and other international leverage against North Korea and go it alone with bilateral talks.

Can't have it both ways.

Fox is now showing the soundbite where Kerry says he has been consistent and Bush saying he hasn't!
