Kerry is astonishingly good in these debates. It is fun watching McCain lose his cool. McCain has learned to smile when angry, but he can't do it here. In 2005, when McCain was thought to be the most formidable candidate, people pointed out that McCain credited Kerry with calming him down in the POW/MIA hearings and kept him from losing it. Kerry knows where the buttons are - he also seems incredibly good at listening to what his opponent is saying - because he does not need to think out his own response.
I have yet to see Hillary in one of these settings. She is rarely on any of the talk shows and had weak opponents to debate in her races. The Democratic debates are not as sustained a debate - rather just multiple short answer questions.
