Readers: Kerry bested president

The Butler Eagle solicited responses from residents on the first presidential election debate Thursday night between President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.

Fifteen of the 16 readers who responded said Kerry did a better job during the debate.

The responses follow.

I think that Sen. John Kerry demonstrated over and over again during the debate that he is better prepared to lead our country in the coming years.Unlike the president, who chose to rest on a tired and failed vision, continually chose to avoid answering questions and seemed to fall into a canned speech, Kerry outlined a bold vision for where we need to go. His assurance gave me reason to hope; his vision gave me comfort. I'd feel a lot better leaving our government in his hands.Michael Bagdes-CanningCherry Valley
