"Kerry often fails to connect, though he surely thrilled Democrats or
independents already committed to voting for him. This is no small thing.
If he hadn't stirred the faithful, the race would be over. The problem for
Kerry, though, is that right now, there aren't enough committed folks to
defeat Bush on November 2. The first debate didn't change that?"


Geez, it's unanimous, even Barnes thinks Bush lost the debates. As for
finding the votes, Bush managed in 2000. For those of you with a short
memory, in early October, 2000, Gore's lead over Bush was larger than
Bush's lead over Kerry is now. Obviously, it is surmountable.
