Post-Debate Analysis
**Tim Russert says the President and Senator Kerry both solidified their bases and the swing voters saw the differences between the candidates, perhaps allowing them to make a better decision.
**Even the Fox News contributors are handing it to Kerry for not getting knocked out of the race tonight. Although Bill Kristol did emphasize the “global test” and Fox already had that part of the tape cued up. We know what they’ll be talking about over the next few days.

**Bloomberg reports on the three instant polls on the debate, all showing that Kerry won.
