And that assinine little nod that he does. I'm no
great fan of Kerry's (even though I did vote for him). I usually find him wooden, unfeeling, and cold. But tonight he wasn't any of those things. He was confident,
well-spoken and accessible. Bush was more than flustered - a few times he just flat out lost his train of thought and stood there with nothing to say, and no other look on his face than that insolent smirk. Repetition is an effective rhetorical strategy when done well; in the President's hands, it was a dull truncheon reflecting an even duller wit.
Kerry hit a homer (in my book) when he countered Bush's statement "the enemy attacked us". Bush's rebuttal made him look like a whiny child.
I can't wait for the next debates. I'm hoping that all of the undecideds will have firmly made up their minds by then.
