Bush looks even worse at the start.

Wow.

6:20 PST:

And Kerry looks even better. He looks like he smells victory already.

Bush just listed all of the decisions he has made that have made him unpopular without answering the question.

6:23 PST:

Even when Bush can get his lips around a policy question, he sounds terrible (e.g. North Korea).

"Facile"! HA! Sounds nasty-prolix-Kerry-esque!

Clumsy stiffarm by Bush to an attempt by moderator Gibson to ask a question.

6:30 PST:

Nice long shot of Bush's back. No mysterious lump this time.

6:35 PST:

First domestic question. Bush seriously sounds like a complete idiot. I'm excited.

6:37 PST:

Kerry's first stumble comes a half-hour into the debate with a question about the pick of a trial lawyer for VP and effects on healthcare prices.

6:47 PST:

Liveblogging is tiring. Unless something dramatic happens, I simply can't imagine anyone but the most partisan thinking that Bush has won.
