Bush was in top form. Kerry hurt himself with continued denigration of our allies and continued fantasies about non-allies like France and Germany (the REAL coalition of the bribed) joining us. I thought Bush hammered him on Iran and N. Korea. Kerry's continued insistence that the WoT is only about al Qaeda is childish.
I thought Kerry's best answer was on abortion (even though I largely disagree with him). It seemed to me that his answer was heartfelt, and that for the first time in two debates we were seeing Kerry's natural personality coming through. His whole demeanor and tenor changed. For a moment he seemed like an actual human being.
Of course it only served to highlight his shameful and phony posturing and play acting on foreign policy and the safety of my children.
