Media heads SNAP OFF as they reverse about-face on debate importance...
Edited on Sat Oct-02-04 04:46 PM by DeepModem Mom
For weeks, it was going to determine the election. Then when Kerry won -- weeeelllll, this doesn't mean he's going up in the polls, he's maybe back in the game, blah, blah, blah.

Wimpy Karl-Rove, Bush SUCK-UPs!

3. Yes indeed, I remember "The winner always wins the election"
"The winner of the first debate always wins the election" turned into "Uh... two out of three."

Really, it's just what you said -- Kerry's earned a "second look" and "we have a race now" and all that. Who could possibly watch that performance of Chimp looking stupid, lost, clueless, dull, witless, and idiotic and still vote for him? I think we'll see a significant bounce from this (my unscientific opinion) -- not only because Kerry was so good, but also because Chimp was so incredibly BAD.

4. I heard this from a Repub acquaintance at work who was
DEVASTATED at how badly * did in the debate. I had told him that I knew how uninformed, inarticulate, mean-natured, etc., Bush was, he had always seemed that way to me, and I had had all those perceptions confirmed during the debate. He agreed * sucked big time, but said something about there being 2 more debates...

I thought, "Yeah! Two more times for * to look like a total clueless asshole!" but I did not blurt this out so as not to hurt the guy's feelings.

Also, as a side note, DH and I drove around town today and were gratified to see lots of Kerry/Edwards signs sprouting up everywhere. I am starting to feel a whole lot less depressed about this country!

5. People saw Kerry with their own eyes instead of media's for the first time
in the debate, it's just occurred to me. And Jim Lehrer didn't make the debate about himself, asking stupid "gotcha" questions.

When for the first time, people saw Kerry -- AND Bush -- with their own eyes, not through the eyes of a Rove-driven media, the result was devastating.

8. I heard one of the media whores on CNN this morning trying
to spin furiously for B/C. It went something like this "Of course he looked angry--he's very angry at John Kerry and what you saw was his passion for Iraq and the terrorists." I couldn't decide it if was funny or just sad. This was a "journalist" of course--can't remember who she was but it was one of those shows where all the talking heads sit around and talk to one another. Candy "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" Crowley was the moderator.
