Did the presidential debate change who you were going to votefor? Why? If you didn’t know who you were going to vote for, howdid it affect how you were leaning?

It didn’t change whom I was going to vote for at all. Itconfirmed everything I’ve always felt, but I was really glad to seeKerry come out aggressively and get the president on thedefensive.

No, it did not change my views. Watching the debate it felt verysanitary. I wanted to see some down and dirty debating. After thedebate, I felt it had been Hollywood-ized. It seemed like theytried to remedy any bad blood between them.

I didn’t know who I was going to vote for going in and it mademe look at Kerry. I think he consistently made more sense.
Communications, freshman
It didn’t change who I was going to vote for. President Bushavoided the questions and was mainly talking and saying stuff thatwasn’t relevant.
Sociology, post bac
I knew who I was going to vote for before, but I thought it wasinteresting how much more well spoken Kerry was than Bush. Bushseemed to fall back on “uhh” and “umm.” Half of the time he wasspeaking his thoughts and half he was just reciting ideology.
