Did Bush Win the Final Debate? I admit to being surprised; John Kerry has been a very good debater. After seeing him speak and debate in the primaries and the start of the campaign, it seemed likely that George W Bush would win the debates. But Kerry changed - he started to express himself in a clear, confident and strong way. In the first debate, it seemed as if Bush was surprised too; Kerry won that one. All in all, Kerry has given his best impression ever in these three debates. Bush, on the other hand, was unfocused in the first debate, tough and quick in the second - and did his best performance in the third debate yesterday. He was positive, commanded the facts and on the offense. The rise from the first debate is almost remarkable. Polls show an even match from yesterday, but perhaps Bush just by improving so much changed the game again. The days to come will tell.
