Watching the debate was like scoring a boxing match
I couldn't sleep last night and watched the debate again from www.cspan.org (streaming video).

It was interesting that when Bush was asked the question by Schieffer would he like to turn back Roe v. Wade bush bullied the answer and had no concept of his compass in the debate. First off he didn't even let Schieffer finish the question. Then when alloted 2 minutes, setup by the debate rules, he only used 15 seconds for his answer.

Bush's dialog was so disorganized that Kerry had to confirm that his turn was really a rebuttal (i.e., 90 seconds).

To me this was a score for Kerry. Along with a couple of other bush debate gaffes (like starting his rebuttal with (Whoooooooooa) I would say Kerry won by a knock out.

www.cspan.org has the debate and you can fast forward to 58:43 (58 minutes and 43 seconds) to see the Roe v. Wade question debacle.

2. Question? Split screen trouble. Who sets those rules?
It looks silly. Bush looks like he has a large Head. what HAS C-SPAN DONE? DID THEY ALL DO THE SAME AND i DO NOT recall that before. Bush looks like his head is to large. After all these debates I would say Bush is really out of it. He does not see the world as I do any how. He also I think drinks or something is up. How come Bush is different every time he does one of these debates.
