We have Bush to thank for this one. He could have finished Kerry the other night.

Instead we now have giddy Eleanor Clift, Terry McAuliffe and the hordes of democrats on the attack.

Bush left us with this mess. We now have to do whatever we can for what will probably be only a close win instead of a complete rout of the entire democrat establishment.

Another fine mess Bush has gotten us into.

Isn't intresting how supposed Republicans come onto a "Conservative" news form and spend all their time spewing anti-Bush propaganda?

So which Moveon.org seminar did you attend Putup? The one by Rapper Mobey or the one by Jame Carvell. Wishful thinking on your part Put. Seen these poll numbers?

If this is victory, it sure is going to be ugly when Kerry loses a debate.

Kerry Wins? Maybe Not.
The conventional wisdom is that John Kerry "won" the debate. We certainly agree that he performed well. In contrast with his hapless recent efforts at the convention and on the stump, he came across as poised, confident and even reasonably disciplined verbally. And he toned down the defeatism on Iraq.

But in a postdebate Gallup poll, although a majority (53%) thought Kerry "did a better job in the debate" than Bush (37%), the results of more specific questions look better for the president:

Kerry Bush
Expressed himself more clearly 60% 32%
Had a good understanding of the issues 41% 41%
Agreed with you more on the issues you care about 46% 49%
Was more believable 45% 50%
Was more likable 41% 48%
Demonstrated he is tough enough for the job 37% 54%

It may turn out that Kerry impressed voters with his skills as a debater--looking "almost senatorial," as ScrappleFace.com puts it-- but fell short of persuading them that he'd be a better president than the incumbent.
