1. Yes, I'm truly amazed. The media whores tried their damnedest!
But the people knew who won and who gave the worst debate performance in the history of debate.

4. There are subtle attempts still
to reframe it.

"Style over substance"

and playing down the significance of course.



But you're correct. It was too much to hide this time, 62.5 million saw it live.

5. Didja hear David Brooks on This Weak yesterday?

He said when he first watched the debate he thought it
was a draw, but now he gives a "slight edge" to Kerry.

His excuse for his being a ho? "I didn't get to see the
split screen shot."

13. George W. Bush is Still a LOSER
What a pack of whores. They are taking their cue from the Chimp: "Who you going to believe? Me, or your lying eyes?"

10. Diane Sawyer on GMA today called the new poll results "shocking"
Edited on Mon Oct-04-04 08:10 AM by wishlist
She acted like it was a huge surprise that the election polling now puts Kerry even with Bush. This is not a big surprise to most viewers of the debate who perceived Kerry as the winner. Maybe what shocked her is that Kerry closed the gap despite so many in the media downplaying Kerry's superior performance to give the impression that it was a tie.

14. One thing Kerry did brilliantly was tell people facts they did not know
I think maybe the most shocking was how Bush let bin Laden get away at Tora Bora. Because the news whores will not report this, Americans were shocked to hear the truth from Kerry.

12. There's a story on MSNBC trying to hype the Edwards-Cheney
debate that acknowledges, several times, Bush got his clock cleaned. This thing can't be spun for the purpose of the election. Afterwards, well, who knows.
