[Nevernose]

1. * knows what the questions are

Kerry's doing great anyway

[yardwork]

2. Bush sounds just as angry as last time!

Kerry is very nervous, though. He needs to get his stride.

[rot0r_head]

3. Bush looks 100% better this time around

but he's still spouting the same ol' bullshit.

Go git 'em, John!

[Nevernose]

8. Agree -- trying to turn it on Kerry

Not working.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

How could he manage to look 100% better than shit?

[funkybutt]

4. This president..pushed our Allies away!

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. Kerry on NCLB.

I've NEVER changed my mind about NCLB. I've never changed my mind about Iraq. Bush rushed to war and is now more dangerous.

[Tatiana]

6. Let me tell you straight up, I never changed my mind about Iraq.

Said that very succinctly and forcefully.

"He took his eye off the ball, off Osama bin Laden."

[SemiCharmedQuark]

7. Ohhh here we go "Global Test"

[onager]

Smackdown! WMD

[EstimatedProphet]

13. Kerry made hay with that last question

And quoting MO stats is a nice touch

[realFedUp]

14. Geez, Bush uses his "global test" card early

ooops. That doesn't bode well. And he's yelling.

[aldian159]

15. Bush hasn't said anything new

No suprise there

[Cheswick2.0]

WTF, Kerry gets no follow up and Bush does?

[funkybutt]

16. global test = permission slip

we are the moral authority..we do not ask for permission

[Nocturnes]

17. Bush* spouts shit

Kerry calls him on it.

Shrub* sounds a little distressed tonight

Good call on sanctions

[BlackVelvetElvis]

18. Bush sounds likes he's gonna start screaming.

[LearnedHand]

[SemiCharmedQuark]

21. DAMN! "They Worked!!!"

[Peanut Gallery]

22. Kerry is doing beautifully

Bush is laughing at Kerry now - did anyone see that?

[Fatima]

SANCTIONS WERE WORKING YOU JACKASS

They were brutal to the Iraqis, but they kept Saddam contained

[sonicx]

33. yup

[sonicx]

[Rainbowreflect]

23. Ohhhhh Global Test, Global Test, Global Test.

Go get him Kerry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AntiFascist]

24. How could Sadaam give away WMD to terrorists that he doesnt have??

[JerseygirlCT]

25. Is there a split screen anywhere?

[AntiFascist]

I think bush was strategically blocking the camera

view of Kerry, so they stopped doing it on CSPAN

[speedoo]

Occasional split and shots of both on C-Span.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

26. Kerry: "This president took his eye off the ball and Osama bin Laden"

Iran and North Korea now more dangerous than Iraq

[MsMagnificent]

27. Oh man - sanctions didn't work When there were NO WMD?!

Bad bad idea, Shrub

[Nevernose]

28. YES! Call his ass out, John!

THAT'S the war against terror

[opiate69]

Kerry is very good tonight.

[marlakay]

42. whats with bush's laughter, this isn't a funny subject

[Nocturnes]

43. Shrub has NO plan

[bushisanidiot]

44. "Fair & Balanced" Charlie gives AWOL a follow up, but denies it to Kerry!!

Gibson is clearly a biased moderator.

[realFedUp]

Mr. Baldy: The US is preparing to withdraw U.S. troops

Clue Mr. B....troops aren't going to be withdrawn
under Bush.

[eyepaddle]

45. Oh Man chimp is worked up!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

47. Bush in Background: "Whaaaa?"

[onecitizen]

48. he's already getting angry!

Thar he blows!!!! Lookout!!

[kitkatrose]

49. Smack him with his own people, Kerry!!!

[Ksec]

50. using facts, booooosh using lies. Incompetent bastard.

[theoceansnerves]

51. ohh shit@@@

looking bush right in the eye and telling him the report shows saddam never had WMD and bush laughs at him!!!!!!!!!

[Peanut Gallery]

76. and there's Bush's "leadership" right there in a nutshell

I noticed that

[rumguy]

52. what did Kerry say about Saddam could have been jailed or killed?

[MissB]

He said Osama could've been jailed or killed. (nt)

[AnIndependentTexan]

53. Already he has Bush on the defensive

[onecitizen]

John sounds great!

bush defensive and angry!

[Peanut Gallery]

55. Anyone notice how testy and impatient Bush is getting already?

He's going to defeat himself again, I can feel it. All he needs is a little more nudging...

[MissB]

56. Kerry is looking at Bush as he's speaking about the Republican leaders...

trying to piss Bush off.

[meow mix]

57. iraq in choas.. "hard-work" incoming..

[autorank]

60. Kerry's strength baits bush. Meltdown on the way.

[teach4life]

61. is it me, or was * just yelling?

[Nocturnes]

62. Great call on allies

[Bluzmann57]

63. Now that was a good answer

Kerry said the purpose of the sanctions was "not to remove Saddam Hussein from power, but to prevent him from manufacturing wmd's". Pretty good answer.

[annabanana]

64. Bush is looking smirky

[Dudley_DUright]

65. Great rebuttals by Kerry

Bush completely lied about Kerry's "global test" remarks.

[Tatiana]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG is anyone looking at Bush pretend to take notes?

He's drawing big circles!! LMAO!

[realFedUp]

66. Senator Kerry is strong Don Pardo....

He has the facts at his fingers.
Bush attacks John Kerry with no facts.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

WHY is smirky laughing???

[Nevernose]

67. It's like high school: FIGHT! FIGHT!

Way to kick ass, John. WAy to go!

[Eric J in MN]

68. Different mood than in 1992 Town Hall Debate.

In 1992, there was a lighthearted atmosphere; tonight the audience is serious.

[Nevernose]

War'll do that to ya

[kitkatrose]

69. "Looks like another love TKO..."

;)

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

70. Next question on troop withdrawal

Kerry says Pres. plan not working-chaos now. Hope he goes into details-'undecideds' say they want details. (How can anyone be undecided unless they don't care or they are brain dead???)

Talking about getting allies. North Atlantic Counsel-news to me. And Chimp is smiling. They must have told him to smile when he wants to kill Kerry.

[Kierkegaard]

72. Serious bone breaking goin on up in here!

Kerry is stomping some Chimp ass!!!!

[Placebo]

73. oOoOoOOOOoOoOoOH, I LIKE THIS DEBATE!!!

It's fast-paced and FIESTY :P :bounce:

[Poll_Blind]

80. Yeah, I'm noticing that too! Awesome if they can keep this pace up!

PB

[WindChill]

74. Great move

On the rebuttal about removing Saddam versus disarming him. Very solid.

[nonconformist]

75. Kerry is on fire!

[ReadTomPaine]

77. Kerry's very strong, Bush isn't being a pushover, tho.

Let's see if Bush has got the stamina to stay feisty.

RTP

[lasttrip]

78. IN HIS FACE

[booksenkatz]

79. My man Kerry has no fear, Bush is PWN3D!!

I knew I didn't need to be nervous tonight, and I wasn't. John proved he won't let me down once, I've put my trust in him tonight and he's proving himself yet again. Solid and smooth.

[Rainbowreflect]

81. The SMIRK is back!!

Did you ever notice that if bush is trying to not make faces he blinks like crazy.

[kitkatrose]

82. Elections mean shit if you're getting shot at..

[Robert Oak]

83. think Kerry needs to calm down

[spanone]

84. Here's Rosy Scenario

[Tatiana]

85. Is it just me, or is this crowd slightly hostile towards Bush?

And giving Kerry a chance to correct the Bush smears against him?

[Nevernose]

87. Well, as long as SOMEONE is optimistic

/sarcasm

[greekspeak]

Iraqis like to be free

Well as soon as they taste freedom...who knows?!

[Neshanic]

88. Kerry is BLAZING! Ranter now up

[BlackVelvetElvis]

89. A puppet will tell you anything you want to hear, George

[makhno]

90. Iraqis love to be free

Hahaha .. free to die. The damn country is in CHAOS!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

91. LOL "The Bush Plan"

[SW FL Dem]
