Well, as an undecided voter, this pushed me to Kerry. He clearly was better.

Just kidding. I was already a Kerry supporter, but I do think he was much better. Bush had a couple of good points. I'll give him credit. The whole multilateral versus bilateral North Korea talks was a good score for him, but Kerry did come back to that later by saying that going bi-lateral doesn't mean you exclude China involvement too. I think Kerry realized that Bush looked good on that one point, so Kerry tried to clarify a little. That was the only victory for Bush I saw.

Did anyone else notice how insincere Bush acted when he was talking about his visit to one of the widows of a US soldier and how sad it was for the family? Bush was trying to show a sympathetic face, and was shaking his head like "too bad." He was trying to appear sympathetic and was doing all these mannerisms that he must have thought showed compassion. I was picturing George Costanza from Seinfeld as Bush was doing that. The Seinfeld episodes after George's fiance died and he was with the family trying to act like he was all distraught. The moment didn't serve Bush well. He's a very bad actor, and I found his fake compassion a little offensive.

Also, when Bush was talking about how he stood up for America by not signing the treaty that might result in war crimes charges being brought up against US troops, there was a long pause before he gave his reason why. I imagined that he was going to say that he didn't sign it because he didn't want to be brought up on war crimes charges himself.

But that was only in my dreams.
