I will go a step further, I think Kerry had the questions before hand.

Judging from the way he responded, I will gurantee you that he did.
Basicially all that was was a 90 minute camaign speech by John Kerry.
And Lehrer knew his what his responses were going to be.

LEHRER: New question, two minutes, Senator Kerry.{Referring back to Kerry's comments}
"Colossal misjudgments." What colossal misjudgments, in your opinion, has President Bush made in these areas?
I think Kerry did a better job of knowing how they would be asked. He would have answered "Are people dying for a mistake" better if he knew them in advance.
I AGREE 100% SKERRY WAS TOO PREPARED FOR THE QUESTIONS. HE HAD AN IDEA OF THE QUESTIONS BEFORE RESPONDING JUST BY THE LOOK ON HIS FACE AND HIS HEAD BOBING UP AND DOWN. REMEMBER IN THE BEGINNING OF THE DEBATE SKERRY SAID "I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO DISCUSS THAT LATER" REGARDING A HOMELAND SECURITY. THAT'S A FUNNY THING TO SAY UNLESS IT'S A SLIP! BEING FROM MASS. I KNOW HOW THIS CLOWN WORKS. GWB STILL HAD A BAD NIGHT BUT THERE WILL BE OTHERS.
Yes, and yes! I think the same thing. He was too ready with alot of information at his manicured fingertips.
Yesterday when the big stink over the lights came out, someone here said it seemed like a setup of some kind. It sure does look like that was a smoke screen to take away from the fact that his answers were too pat. President Bush had to digest the question and then answer...Kerry sounded like he knew exactly what the question would be.
I agree. Kerry had the questions a few days before the debate. His answers were memorized, timed. As someone else pointed out, nobody finishes under the time constraint in short, succinct answers all the time. Kerry did, and he knew the question of home security would come up 'later on'. Sure, he had the questions ahead of time. I hope Karl and Karen are replaying the video and figuring out biased economic questions likely to be put to GW. Next Tuesday, Cheney will hand Edwards the silver-tongued one, his lunch.
