A much improved GWB! I would say Bush edged Kerry on Iraq and suprisingly fought to a draw on the domestic. Really, pretty close call overall but I think Bush gets the nod IMO if only for degree of improvement. I am still surprised he did not mention Kerrys 1st gulf war vote as an example of his clear anti-war track record. But I did like the way he ran over Charlie Gibson to emphasize that he was not pleased that Kerry had marginalized the contributions of our allies. Stem cell research is a tough one for Bush...even I oppose his position here. Partial birth abortion was tough for Kerry. I though the questions were better than expected.

Slight sigh of relief...but its going to come down to the wire.
Side note: John Howard's win in Australia may be a good omen for Bush..
