My &%$#$*!@ internet went down right after the debate, who won the spin?

What's the CW this mornin'? I think that both men did better than last time, although Kerry had a bigger improvement. So, I guess that if the first debate could be scored 5-0 for Kerry, last night's could be like 10-3 or something. Yeah, Bush did a little better, but Kerry still kicked his ass something fierce.

What is everyone else saying?

[skooooo]

1. which of the internets went down?

They all worked fine for me last night.

3. Oh, my dorm network got messed up somehow.

I went to the gym this morning and now it's fine.

2. Looks like the polls make it close,

but Kerry is still on top of them this morning. Lots of spin about things last night, but many media pundits saying that Bush didn't hurt Kerry, that Kerry scored some real points. NY Times editorial said that Kerry, at the very least, continued to look presidential.

4. Goldberg, Kristol, and other influential RWers called it for Kerry

Olbermann changed his "draw" call in the middle of the night after factchecking the timber company assertion (true; Bush uses a tax dodge where he can declare as little as $1 profit and be called a small businessman; factcheck.org) and gave Kerry the clear win becasue of Bush lies!

A few holdouts are saying it was a draw. A few lunatics say Bush won resoundingly!

5. I think Fox and CNN gave it to Kerry, but MSNBC gave it to Bush

Pat Buchanan was saying that Bush wiped the floor with Kerry

[rockymountaindem]

6. Yeah, right, and we all thought MSNBC would be on our side 2 months ago...

:eyes:

9. MSNBC where?

I know Olberman called it a clear win for Kerry. (And provided perhaps the funniest damn line I've ever heard out of a mainstream news source in the process).

Who there is calling it for Bush?
