Here's the analysis I posted a few hours BEFORE the debate

Did I nail it?

"Kerry really outdid himself tonight. From the very beginning of the debate, he was confident, relaxed, strong. He made some devastating points against Bush and built up his arguments like a crescendo to the very end, when he nailed Bush on this single question: what is Bush's plan for Iraq now? Good point. So much attention has been focused on Kerry's plans for Iraq, which he outlined superbly in tonight's debate, that very little has been asked of Bush. Bush did not have a rebuttal. Can we assume that is because he has no plan? What a scary thought! Kerry looked wonderful, and Bush seemed very nervous and jumpy. Didn't give me much confidence in him at all. We need a new, common sense direction in our foreign policy. Kerry will give us that. He made that crystal clear to the American people tonight."
