Quick take, debate II
Kerry in another slam-dunk. Bush was a bit better than last Thursday, but that's damning with faint praise.
Kerry once again kicked ass. He was sharp, authoritative, direct, calm - one might say presidential. He communicated feistiness without rancor. He was better than last week - more relaxed, and in command. A+
Bush looked like he was trying hard not to make those faces again. He didn't always succeed. He was certainly sharper than last week, but he just doesn't have the knowledge or the tools to seem anything but bellicose and short on understanding of the issues. A weak C.
