[seabeyond]

16. msnbc........on front page i guess

what husband said

[Robert Oak]

5. Yeah, honestly I think Kerry won

You've got both MSNBC and CNN trying to claim Bush won again...

no way. I think Kerry made some mistakes but the facts are too bold
on Bush's record and then yelling at the moderator, to me, that was it, over.

[Clinton Crusader]

6. GO KEITH! But I also think JK won

:kick:

[Lugnut]

7. Keith's commentary is great!

I thought * did better than last week but he did not win tonight. I agree with Keith's analysis.

[mermaid]

9. That Isn't Saying Much!!

so Bush did better than last week...that isn't saying much, considering that I cannot fathom how ANYONE could possibly do WORSE than Bush did last week! Even BUSH couldn't top (or is it bottom??) last week's performance!!

So, the best thing you can say about Bush's performance tonight is that he did better than last week. Well, that isn't saying much...

[Lugnut]

11. That about the best thing I can say

I thought he was rude. He yelled at the questioners and looked very defensive for the most part. And the lies! He used the same talking points I've heard so many tmes they give me a headache. Talk about an empty suit!

[Shopaholic]

8. I do love Keith Olbermann!

And he's a damn fine writer!

[cheshire]

10. Bush got 2 wow that was generous on Keith's part. LOL

[Lugnut]

13. I'll say!

He scored * better than I did.

[Bleacher Creature]

12. Uhhhhh! Not anymore!

Somehow it's now 15-12

[Anarcho-Socialist]

14. He's screwed us over

Earlier on Kerry won 19-2.

Oldermann has added and subtracted "supplemental points" making the score:

Kerry 15
Bush 12

This is what Oldermann calls a "statistical draw", I call it bullshit.

[Kinkistyle]

17. He's making fun of the way the media spins it afterward.

Hence the term "supplemental points". Bush got into the crowd and got pictures taken. Thats what REALLY matters to the American people.

[Bleacher Creature]

18. "Supplemental Points"

Definition: Call from someone in corporate headquarters.

[dignan27]

19. I think that's the result of editors and overseers

Did you hear his rationale? Bush went out to the crowds first? That constitutes a 10 point swing? I think Keith was following some orders there.

[JimmyJazz]

15. good grief , I think I have a crush on this man! an objective person on

cable news - nah! Really??? wait - are you now saying he's backtracking? i knew it was too good to be true!

[MasonJar]

20. I was in a noisy bar and couldn't hear a lot of the answers, but I

was disappointed in Kerry's environmental answer. There were so many venues to hit Bush with and it appeared that he didn't go for the jugular.
