He did much better than he did last time; he probably scored more new points than Kerry did (on partial-birth abortion, for example). Kerry performed at about the same level he did in the last debate. Otoh, I think Bush supporters cringed more often than Kerry supporters did. I’d say Kerry wins, but not by much. Bush wins only if we’re grading on a curve, which the public just might. And I think I’m just going to ignore my email inbox for the next day or so.
