Will the pollsters and pundits use the debate as an excuse

[BillZBubb]

to start giving accurate polling data that shows Kerry ahead (or a least tied)? This gives liars like Gallup a chance to correct their polls by saying Kerry got a huge surge from his debate win--and cover their asses for the bogus bullshit they've been shoveling out.

1. No, I think the opposite is happening. They're spinning away

from Kerry wherever they can.

For instance, I liked Kerry's "global test" comment. I understood it. I said the same thing to a friend of mine when we invaded Iraq. I said that until Iraq does something directly to us, we would only get a negative response from other nations. That's why Bush has lost their ear. But today Bush is out there trouncing Kerry's "global test" remark because it's not clearly explained. It's an elite abstract concept, until someone puts it in layman's terms. And the press is giving Bush the opportunity to expand on that criticism.

It's an easy concept. I don't know why the Kerry camp doesn't expand on it.
