How can the debate be a tie when W kicked Kerry's a$$ and had him tongue licking and stammering his words most of the night . What a farce !!
It is a farce. Bush won that debate big time. Kerry the *best debator in the world* was back on his heels most of the debate.
Furthermore Bush effectively used the debate to highlight Kerry's weak Senate record and his liberal politics.
Kerry needed to be tagged with this label. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
