I guess I'm just too much of a conservative to look at this clearly. I feel like I'm the only one that thinks Bush won this debate. It's mostly because of his plain speaking. My favorite part was when Lehrer told him he had 30 seconds to respond and he said something to the effect of: "Well, I've stated my position several times, I can't be any plainer." They say Kerry had a lot more detail...well, of course. Muddled positions are muddled because of so much detail. Bush is of the Reagan school: "We win, they lose." Nuff said.

My fellow Freepers have worked themselves into a tizzy. Calm down. Take a deep breath. I was just as eager to see a dramatic Hollywood style "gotcha" moment from Bush to Kerry as anyone. But those things hardly ever happen in real life. And we're still far from the finish line.

Remember--and sleep well on this fact tonight--there is one major obstacle standing between Kerry and the White House. That obstacle's name is Hillary. And she will NOT let this "man" anywhere near what she covets most--absolute power. Of course, President Bush and we the voters have a great deal more to say about it than she does, but rest assured, Hillary is sharpening her knives.

I mean, seriously, wouldn't you drop a load if you saw this running toward you?
