Op/Ed: Real-Time Presidential Debate Analysis

Glad he made the no draft very very clear

BUSH RESPONSE TO #5: Let the inspectors do their job? They were doing their jobs, and Saddam was decieving them!. Let France, Germany, etc. make their positions clear.

There is an axis of evil, Iraq, Iran and N. Korea, ad we are making progress.

Strong - WIN

Which one does Bush use?

The one with factcheck.com

If you can't have fun with your own candidate, who can you fun with?

QUESTION 6


QUESTION 6.

Pres Bush, Since we continue to police the world, how do you plan to maintain troop presence without reinstating a draft?



critique: Good one for Pres Bush. This is his second "cake" question compared to Kerry's first on flipflopping. It remains an important issue though and was a good choice 3/5.

Bush, not draft, he replacing troops with weapons this is bad, more weapons to third world country.

bush fix tie

not draft again,

kerry, talking about support, military over extended, extentions of duty, military under pay,

Bush face priceless

President is mad mad mad

Please tell me where he is goin to get these 40,000 troops!!!! WOW BUSH IS ANGRY I LIKE IT

BUSH IS GOING OFF HIS ROCKER, HE'S SLAMMING THE MODERATOR

Bush seems better prepared for this one. This is 'his' style of debate, in front of the people. Kerry looks as strong as he did in the first...
What is Bush doing????? Let me answer the question...he just totally blew it off...

For shame Mr. Bush....losing your temper with Charles Goodman....there goes the little old lady vote.

Hmmm, I am watching it as well, and I think Kerry has an easy job so far.

The questions and the debate are all focused on anaylsing Bush's actions and decisions. Kerry has the freedom to say "I wouldn't do that" without having to justify his decisions. Its easy to have hindisght, but Bush is on trial, without the ability to attack back in his answers.

I actually think that under the circumstances Bush is doing very well , and I am NOT a bush supporter

BUSH RESPONSE TO #6: We are not going to have a draft...period. Strong alliances, that's it.

Strong - WIN

Rebuttal: Tell our allies we're going alone. That statement denegrates the countries that are helping us.

Strong - WIN

well he is the leader of the free world :-D

KErry seems alil bit shakey after bush raised his voice. his voice cracked

kerry does not even remeber the first trade center bombing year???
My 4 yr old daughter knows

Kerry addressed this problem at the level of Par.

Neither candidate seems to support a draft, but kerry wants to make our soldiers feel safe.

It's a good motive, but I'm not entirely sure how he's going to ensure that. He wants to make sure that he runs a foreign policy where alliances come before conflicts and enemies.

I think that that is the key to a good foreign policy.

Thats what I want to know.Its easy to just say that but how are you going to do it by slashing military budgets

For shame Mr. Kerry...saying you'd rely on the intelligence community when you gutted it....

Bush looked unprofessional, blowing up, and mentioning Poland.

QUESTION 7

Senator Kerry, We have been fortunate that there have been no further terrorist attacks since 9/11. Why do you think this is and if elected what will you do to protect our safety?



critique: Bit of an easy one for Kerry but it evens it out. No real substance just rhetoric behind this one. 3/5
note: If I were Gibson i'd have disciplined him..
