Colin, I think Bush's strongest point was re-using the single phrase "wrong war, wrong time"etc over and over during the debate. He was strong at redirecting questions to the subjects or themes he wanted to talk about. His prepared answers on subjects, when they hit exactly on what he had prepared were clear, using short words that the average voter could understand.
Do you remember the "who is going to win the debate" thread? I posted (before the debate):

Mike, actually, Bush's weakest spot is "non scripted" situations. Bush is a VERY poor orator without a script (rumor had it that his early scripts when running for govenor in texas included prompts when to smile). If Kerry can lead him even a little off of his scripted answers, I think you will see Bush go down hard.

Kerry did as I expected, and Bush reacted EXACTLY as expected. Bush will be remembered in this debate as the stuttering, confused, and often SILENT adversary... a man that truly did not look to be in charge of the facts.
