Your post was one of the first I read this morning after logging on to FR to garner the consensus reaction of the debate. I haven't read anything so revealing since Ron Brown was killed. I sincerely believe Kerry was prepared with scripted answers that lasted exactly two minutes. You could tell the President was speaking off the cuff, he struggled a couple of times to fill his time slot. I never saw Kerry give anything but two minute speeches. That boy was prepped.
It certainly looks that way. And if so many seperately come to the same conclusion, it appears that there might be something there. I did see one post that suggested Lehrer was just following what Kerry said in his line of questioning, that's a possibility too, but why didn't he follow any of Bush's answers and press Kerry? And why no balancing questions of Kerry's foreign policy/Iraq stance(s) in the senate?
