Though Mr. Bush was more composed than in last week's first presidential debate, all agreed his tone was sometimes antagonistic and he again appeared uncomfortable being challenged. Kerry, on the other hand, was viewed as measured and articulate. However, none of the experts touted a clear winner.

1. why the "experts" can't say Kerry won.... makes them "whores"..not experts

[underpants]

2. Kerry was fantastic

THAT was what I was expected last week. Both of his performances were good but last night he was smooth as silk.

W did better last night, but then he couldn't have done worse.

4. Kerry was very solid, very good. Excel. is a term I will use

after the 3d debate. If there is one.

Bush, on the other hand, managed to use words and sentences like never before. He actually completed some this time. BUt you know. It's hard. It's hard.

Shrub was not only angry, but ready for a fist fight. I thought he looked "medicated". I've known lotsa college kids looking like that a week before exams - trying to find what they missed all semester.

3. "...none of the experts touted a clear winner:"

What debate were these so-called 'experts' watching? Did they have the volume up loud enough to hear what the candidates were actually saying?

Here we go again. Bush didn't pick his nose, fart, or begin urinating on spectators, so he gets extra points.

5. We have always known he is "mad."

8. That was hubby's frequent comment :He's rambling like a madman

[bushisanidiot]

6. Kerry could have performed emergency open heart surgery live on tv

and the pundits still would have not given him any credit.

7. Screaming George

Obviously Poppy never taught him that bullshit screamed is just loud bullshit.
