Well, I watched the debate last night and I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be. I think that Bush met his expectations and established himself once again as the truth teller. His sincerity was as it always is and his words were well thought out.
Kerry, however, performed above the expectations of the people and forged some respectability and effectively presented himself as a potential Commander in Chief. He may be insincere, but he hid it a little too well for my comfort. I think that Kerry made the most progress in the debate because he gained, while Bush simply reestablished himself, remaining consistent, but not meeting Kerry with the supreme authority we all thought he'd have.
The major draw back for Bush was that Kerry was expected to come out and be his normal self (putting his foot into his mouth), but he instead presented an extremely reserved Kerry, who was polite and well mannered. He wasn't himself.
Anyway, I think we’re going to see a much closer race now than I thought, which is not encouraging.
