Yes, it did seem like Kerry spoke for longer periods of time, yet he had no coherent position on anything.
And I've now spoken to both of my liberal-leaning, undecided sisters and they both said that Kerry did nothing to convince them to vote for him.
And yet he stayed within the time controls (which surprised me, though it perhaps supports the theory of his having the questions beforehand).
The reason it seemed like Kerry Spoke longer was because he was so difficult to follow and understand what his position is. The only time he made sense was when he attacked the president and he did that constantly. He put Bush on the defensive and Bush had alot of openings he didn't take. I believe Kerry has already lost the race but Bush could have delivered a knock out blow instead of a TKO tonight had he attacked on Kerry's flip flops and non sense.
