And the Loser Is....Bob Schieffer
Yes that's right. CBS has done it again. Bob Schieffer's questions were "have you stopped beating your wife" type questions to Bush all night.
The unbiased quick surveys are saying a tie. The pro-Bush surveys are saying Bush, and the liberal media and Kerry-ites are saying a Kerry win.
Though I did not have the luxury of seeing the debate in full, in the first part of the debate, it seemed like Bush was on the run, answering with ad hominem "you're a liberal!" type responses. But picking up the feed during the night, it appears that Kerry came off as business-like, almost Dukakis-ish, while Bush came across as a real person and sincere.
Pollster Frank Luntz interviewed 23 undecideds last night. These undecideds concluded that Kerry, and not Bush, won the debate. But they split 17 to 5 in favor of Bush in terms of whom they now plan to vote for. "They still don't trust what John Kerry is saying," Luntz said, though they thought he said it well, according to Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard.
So, on the whole: BUSH for COMMANDER IN CHIEF, and KERRY for DEBATER IN CHIEF.
