There is a temptation to score the debates as, well, debates. I don’t think the American people will score them that way. The voters are picking a president, not a debating champion.
People make decisions emotionally and then find reasons to support that decision. The real question will be, and I don’t think any of us can accurately answer it, did the president move anyone emotionally? Or did Kerry?
Kerry has done an excellent job of masking his liberalism. I think Bush needs to do a better job of unmasking it and the 1991 Gulf War would make an excellent point.
It was a war in which 41 followed all of Kerry’s tests, and Kerry voted against it.
