* Bush had a theological, thematic approach.
* Kerry had an informed, professorial approach.
The best gaff though, off of the top of my head, was when Bush did a
little vignette about a war widow he visited and said something like,
"I loved with her for a long time."
The question will be which does America prefer:
1.) "Kerry is smart, well informed, and has a clear vision on how to
deal with Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Darfour, and Russia all heading in
the wrong direction."
2.) "Bush may not be the most eloquent guy, but he talks like me, he
talks like my pastor, and he know what he believes."
In the end these are 2 guys from Yale, both from the same fraternity,
both in Skull and Bones, and who Fred Smith, CEO of FedEx, used to go
flying in the afternoon with John Kerry and spent time with George
Bush at night as a pledge son.
On points, Kerry won.

Well I watched it and IMO, Kerry totally owned!
Kerry spent his time clearly and eloquently covering the issues with
specific comments, while Bush stuttered his way through mostly
simpering misguided character attacks and a touchy-feely belief that a
free Iraq will magically bring peace.
Even when the topic offered to the candidates was to comment on their
opponent's character, Kerry took the high road and instead stuck to
issues instead.
Bush spoke most clearly when trying to defend his approach to dealing
with Korea, but kept losing it when Kerry kept pointing out how his
approach hasn't been working.
Of course, I have no illusions that Bush supporters will have heard
what they wanted to hear from Bush.
