Presidential Debate

[Munkay]

That said however, I did think that Kerry came out marginally better than Bush. The Senator was a bit more proactive when answering the questions, and was definately on the attack during the debate. Bush mainly concentrated on defending his actions and repeating the negative PR about Kerry as much as possible -- not that impressive.

I have to agree that it Kerry came out marginally better. I went into the debates expecting the opposite actually. Bush is a strong debater, (please before anyone bothers to comment on 'how poorly he speaks,' there is more to oration than the mispronounciation of a word.) and I was uncertain who would be on the attack and who would be on the defense.

Bush defeneded himself well, and I beleive he made a strong final statement. I think Kerry marginally won for I felt he did a good job staying off criticisms of him, while at the same time keeping good pressure on Bush for his mistakes. He did what he had to, which was make a very clear, very concise statement about his stance in Iraq.

I still have a lot of work left for tomorrows classes, so I will have to wait until later to continue this.

Cheers,
