Bush came out angry (or "energetic" as the media spun it). He knew he needed to win this debate convincingly to slow the Kerry momentum. He failed.
The thing that stuck out to me was the way he angrily interrupted Charles Gibson, not allowing him to ask his question. Angry may work with his base, but the leaners at home get turned off by stuff like that. In contrast, Kerry was cool and calm in the heat of battle, just like a commander in chief should be.
The post-debate polls show that Kerry was able to sway more people to his side. Kerry just keeps rolling along, before long I think he'll be in the White House.
