So we couldn't possibly have had any insight into Bush's character in the US?
Have you actually watched the US debates -- there were actually two, wuith variant formats?
You're either joking, or purposefully obtuse, or arguing in bad faith.
Last night's format would have allowed Kerry to have followed up in such a way where Bush would have been proved more iidiotic thanm even he did in the US debates. Yes indeed I watched the US debates; in fact all of the televised debates since JFK/Nixon and your criticizing me for thinking last night's format is better than any of the US debate formats is pettyy and non constructive. I disagree with you so be it.
"Saved by the bell" made by the moderators saved Bush.
