Lehrer knows that sKerry's hopes are dismal at best, he was giving him "softballs" in an attempt to make sKerry's election showing at least seem respectable.

In my opinion, President Bush missed out on a great opportunity last night to really hammer Kerry on his abysmal voting record and his true beliefs about strengthening our military and America.

At one point, Kerry said that he would immediately cut a new research program for bunker-busting weapons. As soon as he said this I was thinking to myself "This is it Mr. President, hammer him right now on his history of voting against the military time and time again". But alas, he didn't do it.

I think Bush was really far too easy on Kerry throughout pretty much the whole debate.
