CBS saying...

[tomfodw]

...their panel of 200 uncommitted Americans across the country went heavily for Kerry (although not a majority).

Schieffer though downplaying Kerry's achievement tonight. Saying it will, at best, keep him in the race, not put him in the lead.

1. did the other undecideds

stay undecided or go for Bush?

[Cha]

2. And isn't shieffer going to be a

moderator for a debate? ol' pal of the bushes?

[Peanut Gallery]

3. "downplaying Kerry's achievement"

CNN is spinning it this way too

4. WTF

Schieffer though downplaying Kerry's achievement tonight. Saying it will, at best, keep him in the race, not put him in the lead.

How in the hell does Schieffer know? Because "who is in the lead" is already a foregone conclusion maybe?

Either this election gets fixed or Kerry goes 300+EVs. No one watching this debate tonight not ideoligcally blind can think Bush is worthy of the office he now holes. Turn him out to pasture. He's done.

5. exactly

bush was very uncomposed. He did not look presidential at all.

[Ksec]

6. CBS is scared of offending the wingnuts

[Onlooker]

7. They just said

44% think Kerry won
26% think * won
30% think it was a tie.

I'd say Kerry did pretty well!
