Here's a sample.

The biggest vote shift came among older men, an important target group in the election. Kerry moved from a deficit of 2 points to an advantage of 4 points, 51 to 47 percent. .

This was very much a personal victory for Kerry. There was a net 8-point shift in favorability: positive responses rose 5 points to 48 percent; negative ones dropped 3 points to 42 percent. Bush gained only 2 points on favorability. Kerry’s gains reflected sharp rises on personal attributes, without a comparable gain for Bush. • On strong convictions, Kerry rose 6 points to 63 percent. • On honest and trustworthy, up 6 points to 57 percent. • On gives me confidence, up 5 points to 52 percent. • On likeable, up 5 points to 62 percent. • On having clear plans, Kerry gained 6 points in comparison to Bush and ended up ahead (45 to 42 percent).

Bush attacks on Kerry missed their mark. In fact, worries about Kerry on flip flops, weakness on defense, being too liberal, and on taxes all went down after the debate.

Now, since the Bush team couldn't use just soundbytes and misinfo to charecterize Kerry in the debates like they do the rest of the time, they are losing
