Why does My TV thing that Bush won the Debate?

excerpt:

Well, no, that's not really true. I remember turning to a fellow viewer as we watched Bush go to pieces and saying, "watch; they're gonna come on and call it for Bush."

I was kidding, really, but only half-kidding. I felt the same way four years ago watching Bush walk off with the popular opinion trophy after futzing his way through on the strength of "fuzzy math" and simple lies. I would have sighed too.

I was actually a bit chuffed after the first debate, watching even assholes like Joe Scarborough gush about Kerry. Soon after, Bill O'Reilly even said Bush would be finished if Bush took a similar pasting in the second. I should have seen it coming.

But I was wrong. To my initial shock and continuing horror, when the debate had concluded, my ear canals promptly filled with shit. No one seemed to be talking about Bush's angry meltdown, or the dodged "mistakes" question. No one seemed to mention how Bush had simply repeated himself again and again, with the same stock lines about mixed messages and firm resolve that had failed him in the first debate. The general consensus was that Bush "came to play," that he had either won or it was a draw.

...all worth reading...

1. Been there, done that two weeks ago, LOL!

Thursday, October 7, 2004--WBAY TV in Green Bay, Wisconsin is running an AP article reporting that Bush has won the election, weeks before the election is to take place.

...AP is now saying (it) was a "test article"...that was "inadvertently" picked up by WBAY.
