MSNBC Spin
Preparing for the revisionist spin on the debate, MSNBC just ran a poll showing Kerry winning the debate 53%-37%...but then, a caution...these results reflect those who watched the debate and not those of the public at large, and these numbers can change over the next couple of days.

Hello?! If the question is who won the debate, it SHOULD be those who actually watched it. Silly.

11. IMO, a tie is a loss for Bush. If he is so great, he should have won
easily.

3. A TIE???
Edited on Fri Oct-01-04 08:49 AM by WillW
Oh dear god...

Listen, one of the candidates was articulate, was able to expose the other candidate's weak arguments and appeared presidential. The other looked like an oily oyster and sounded like a perseverating parrot.

A TIE? Note to CNN: I have officially turned off your bullshit 'news' for good.

14. The mentally 'challenged' kids i worked with..
would often engage in endless vocal repetitions.. repeating the same thing over and over and over and over again.....

perseverate

v : psychology: repeat a response after the cessation of the original stimulus; "The subjects in this study perseverated"

4. All the MSNBC pundits last night agreed Kerry won
Andrea Mitchell, Scarborough, Tweety, and the other guy. All said Kerry won.

I was shocked to hear Scarborough be so tough on chimpy.

6. Tie Myth
The funny thing is that by rating it a tie they are picking the options that has the least support in polls. If you look at the numbers the number of people who thought it was a tie is smaller than the people that thought that BUSH won. Most people thought Kerry did a better job. Propaganda at its best. But they couldn't say Bush won thats obvious. The minority opinion "a tie" is getting the majority spin. Its BS>

9. No, it should be those...
...who vote the way MSNBC tells them to vote.

What country are you living in? One where people make up their own minds? Sheesh. Get with the program, man. Read the memo. Drink the Koolaid. Etc., etc.
