The verdict!!

[ladybugg33]

Kerry didn't hurt himself with the "undecides" but Bush helped himself with his base. Because of this, I have to score it a win for Bush. The bar was set much too high for Kerry. I think Kerry "rested his case" in the last debate.

1. Really? Even though he moved away from the pro-life base???

2. Fuck chimp's knuckle-draggin' base. Back to the caves for them.

23. that's what I saw/heard

Bush wasn't as bad as the 1st debate, but Kerry was as good or better, IMO.

[displacedtexan]

The Bush base is about 30%. No big deal there.

It's the undecideds we're after.

6. Gee, what a surprise!

[Child_Of_Isis]

9. And out of the woodwork they come!

[qanda]

What is this the invasion of the FReepers!!!!

Kerry rocked tonight and Bush sounded like a whiney baby!

[Mojambo]

7. Bush needed to wound Kerry

He didn't

Kerry's priorities in this debate were just so much different than Bush's

He killed with undecideds.

8. You oughta know

If anyone here understands Bush's base, it's you.

[ogradda]

[Bush was AWOL]

12. Why are you still here?

go back to freeperland.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

13. WHAT?

Yeah, um, honey, bush helping himself with his base? Does NOTHING for his numbers. Base is ALREADY voting for him. His base would vote for him if he took a dump on the stage.

So can you explain how a candidate can help himself with his base???

[K-W]

14. Bush's base was already voting, keep dreaming.

Bush's base is a handful of wingers. More and more republicans are getting more and more uncomfortable with Bush, while he reverts to tired old appeals to Reagan era conservatives one minute and crazy winguts the next.

[Duncan Grant]

15. First out of the block with that thread?

You must be so proud.

[archineas]

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

20. WHAT?

Yeah, um, honey, bush helping himself with his base? Does NOTHING for his numbers. Base is ALREADY voting for him. His base would vote for him if he took a dump on the stage.

So can you explain how a candidate can help himself with his base???

[librechik]

Hillary? Haaaaa! Great disguise!

enjoy your stay, brief as it may be...

I'm sure you will answer, just to boost your post count! Can't wait to hear it! (snicker)

22. Cut back on the gin.

I'd be the last person in the world to suggest that a libation or two does help make the debates go down...but you have to pace yourself.
