Bush completely blew it, but according to CNN the polls do not show the

It's way too early to say but . . . for many, this was their first real
look at Kerry. It may take some time to sink in. If Kerry hadn't made a
good showing, he was done for. I'm not so sure the same can be said of
Bush. Reagan did very poorly in his first debate with Mondale, but
devastated him in the second. This race is far from over, but Kerry's
showing can not hurt him. On the other hand, another poor showing by Bush
and he may be Crawford bound.

Kerry has a sackful of "shutdowns" for any quips that come from Bush.
Reagan was articulate and knew how to use language. Bush's jokes are
inappropriate in a world he has made more dangerous.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
