Kerry - Now owns the position of BEST Presidential Debater

[merbex]

Mastery of facts, no nervousness,

No arrogance - next question please

Respectful of opponent- no low blows -facts presented in a presidential manner will carry the day

Carter and Ford were nervous

Reagan too folksy for my taste no substance
Mondale, UGH!!

Dukakis UGH!!

B*1 -winner by default

Clinton, IMHO not as good as Kerry

Al Gore, he let his arrogance shine through;not as sharp as he could have been

B* YOUR FREE RIDE IS OVER!! YOU"RE MAKING YOUR SUPPORTERS DIZZY AS THEY SPIN FOR YOU

1. Mondale Beat Reagan... Nuff Said...

Carter was masterful in his 76 debates...



And Clinton had a different mission in 92 and 96....

2. Kerry carries the day. Are Americans eyes open or still closed to

good leadership? Can they see Bush on 9/11 looking the way he did last night?

If America still votes for Bush after last night... this world is doomed...meaning Humans cannot deal with Reality and Sanity.

3. YUP ! I think that John Kerry has done a good job....

He looks smart and able to handle the job.... HE FINISHED OFF BUSH WITH OUT much trouble and was very nice and polite while he did...... Facts are stubborn things.......Bush appeared that he was childish and angry alot.

4. Clinton was always great

But I believe Kerry has an edge. He's a stellar debater.

5. Kerry Is A Technically Sound Debater...

I can't think of too many politicians who could beat him head up...
