Bush hesitated and seemed to grope for something to say. Frequently he didn't respond to the question and certainly not to what Kerry had said. I saw Kerry writing as Bush talked and Kerry seemed to respond well, both thoughtfully and intelligently to anything Bush said. Kerry's talking about the number of deaths that increased each month was a very telling part NBC interviewing a group of undecideds in Ohio showed several indicating that they thought Kerry had won.
Sadly when the local station interviewed locals none seemed to have changed their opinions--they still admire Bush--but this state is solidly in the Bush camp anyway.
