No doubt Bush did better in the second debate, although it was still surprising how angry and defensive his demeanor was. One would think he might have watched footage of the first debate and tried to make an adjustment.
Much has been made of this in the press already. In particular, will the fact that he shouted down the moderator damage the perception undecideds have of him? Some polls suggest that his downward slide is still continuing, albeit at a slower rate.
Is Bush simply unable to control his anger? Is Kerry really that good at getting under his skin? Or do Bush and his advisors actually believe that his indignant and sometimes belligerent tone make him appear strong? It's impossible to say for sure, but in any case I like the nickname I saw for Bush on usenet recently: Furious George.
