Bush dodged way more questions than Kerry.
Kerry was wrong when he said Bush never met with the Black Caucus...
... but Bush was wrong when he claimed he never said Osama Bin Laden isn't a priority, and that it was inflated - They've been running a sound clip where he said almost word for word what Kerry claimed he did.
I think Kerry's mistake was he spent more time proving Bush wrong than making his own points and proving himself right. I still feel Kerry won the debate- but Bush left him self open for some good jabs- like at one point Bush on talking about the division of the house and senate stated, "and I will continue doing that". He didn't mean to say it- but c'mon, he should have jumped all over that. Or when he did not answer Roe-v-Wade at ALL Kerry didn't stomp on his dodging.
Bush also stated that reservist troops being sent in to Iraq were happy to go to serve their country- Kerry should have come back with the record AWOL #'s- even if he didn't have the figures- at least make mention of it.
I think Kerry's touring is weighing on him- he looked tired, and I think he wasn't as sharp going into this debate as he should have been.
