Kerry did keep better control of himself, which is good, but I think most of Bush's answers were honest and fairly straightforward.

Eh, stylistically, Kerry won, and that is why everyone online is praising him. Content...who knows who won.

Isnt the opinion of the people what determines if someone "wisn" a debate? The majority of people think Kerry won, therefore he did.

I watched most of the debate last night, and I found it slightly humorous how kerry or bush would state a "fact", then the other one would state a "fact" that blatantly contradicted it. So it was as plain as day that ONE of them was lying.

In the end I do think Kerry came out on top, though. Bush spent almost all of the debate on the defensive side.
