You win a debate when the other side cannot clearly answer and support their side. On that basis, Kerry won in a landslide.
As I mentioned at the top of this thread, Bush ain't very good at these things, and it showed. As soon as the discussion went away from his pre-recorded messages, he stumbled, he paused, he stuttered, and he talked in circles.
His "wrong war wrong place wrong time" message only goes to re-enforce the feels of many people, that it was the wrong war! Kerry having the balls to admit it will more than likely help to get the world to come back on to the US's side. The lone cowboy routine gets really dull after a while, and you know everyone tries to get the gunslinger.
Kerry SOUNDLY beat Bush (CNN poll gave Bush a "C" rating overall, Kerry a "B+" - based on public votes). He has vaulted himself right back into the campaign. Now it will be interesting to see what he does with it. It will also be interesting to see if Bush still wants to do the other debates.
