There's little I see for Kerry to work with coming out of this debate in a substantive way. Bush can make hay. Kerry can pump his fist in the air. I'd prefer both but given the choice, I'll take the hay.

That's why Bush won. Bush gave nothing except facial expressions to the democrats. Kerry gave us the following words.

global test

eliminate our nuclear program

give nuclear fuel to Iran

[hawkaw]

give nuclear fuel to Iran That one really jut blew me completely out of the water.

Actually, the facial expressions are in no sense damaging. If you watch the Democrat video, it shows Bush reacting negatively to the chicken-s**t from Kerry, but sincerely, not intrusively for effect, like Gore did. I think it helps Bush, not hurts him.
