The first thing that struck me about Kerry in the debate was how good he looked. No one has mentioned Botox but Kerry's forehead never moved. He raised his eyebrows a couple of times and that was it. He was like that during his acceptance speech, too. I think that he gets a Botox treatment just before public appearances in order to look younger. It also makes him look stiff and formal which might be what turned people off during his acceptance speech.

Up until now, whenever Kerry made a lot of appearances his poll ratings would go down. If they go down over the weekend, that will be yet another example. If they go up then he will finally have beaten this problem. If they stay the same if could mean that he won the debate but his personality cost him as many voters as his debating skill gained him. We will see on Monday.
