Debate 1 Notes

• Kerry put himself back into the game. He did a good job of answering the flip flop objections. He was clearly in his element.
• Unlike many of Bushes opponents of the past (like Al Gore), Kerry did not belittle his intelligence but treated him like a genuine opponent.
• Behind the podium debating is Kerry's strength but clearly it is Bush's weakness.
• Kerry's campaign team should be fired. They are obviously running one of the worst campaigns in history but Kerry on his own in the debates was much better than his campaign has presented him up to this point.
• Bush clearly had passion and there is no doubt that he believes in what he is doing and that it is best for the country.
• Rudi Guiliani pointed out after the debate (on NBC) that Kerry said Sadam was not a threat at the beginning, then at the end said he agreed with the President that Sadam was a threat. Too bad Bush didn't catch this. I didn't either though.
• As the two families were standing together at the end, I couldn't help but think that one of these is a real genuine family but the other appears strange and contrived along the lines of the Clinton family.
• Many of Kerry's actions were scripted and were unnecessary from what I could see. Like the hurried attempt to kiss the wife in front of the camera at the end.
