That's true. But when I saw it, I thought Reagan won the first debate, lol.

Gingrich had good advice on O'Reilly last night. When Kerry did his Iraq bit, Bush should have just said "I liked your position last week better."

What comeback line would Bush give in a domestic policy debate, though?

The economy is in good shape and there is no mess in Iraq.

Bush can and has delivered knockout lines. He's just never done so in a debate before.

By the way, I didn't think of this before but...Bush now benefits from the game of low expectations.

Yeah, I agree. Last night was Bush's chance to crush Kerry, and he didn't do that.
