Chris Matthews is trying to reconcile Kerry's statements from the debate about Iraq...
Matthews: So, is Kerry's position on Iraq A or B?
Joe Lockhart: Well, uh, I think it's C.

In doing so, he prevented what could have been a disaster for him. If Bush had outright won this debate, the election would be over.
Believability:
Bush: 50%
Kerry: 45%
Likability:
Bush: 48%
Kerry: 41%
The debate was a mixed bag, as most people knew going in that Kerry is a much better orator, but he is less believable and less likable (which is a strange way to elect a President, I agree, but lately, elections do seem to be popularity contests.)
Was it me, or did the debate seem to drag on a bit...Perhaps it was because of the moderator, although I think he did a better job this time, then he did with Bush / Gore.
I would only vote based on appearance for the position of First Lady (if it were only possible) and Laura Bush would get my vote hands down.
I think the format of the debates made it seem to drag on. There were lots of questions about similar things and each contestant (oops the lights made me think it was a game show, I mean candidate) was allowed only a short time period and then they had to ask for extra time. Very tedious, I think they both did as well as they could considering the way it was structured.
