Here's my meager prediction: The polls will show Bush "lost" the debate, but the polls will also show Bush gained ground because of it.

I need some statistical help with something from that debate. Kerry says we have lost 1.? million jobs under Bush. Yet more people in the US have jobs than ever in history. How exactly does that work?

That was reflected in a flash poll taken right after the debate. Of 23 people they split about 50/50 as to who won the debate but 17 said they were voting for W.

Bush is the "Captain" and Kerry is "Mr. Howe"e.

Kerry was playing the wrong game. The game wasn't "win the debate." The game was "get people to vote for you."

In addition, 4000 illegal immigrants cross the border every day. Why? because they find jobs here. That's about a million jobs a year that you won't hear about, since its under the table.

He's a fop, he's a dandy. He's arrogant. He talks to you like you need it explained to you that you might find a slice of bacon in a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. Kerry's condescending attitude is even worse than algor's.

Bigger population.That can't explain it. How can more people have jobs than ever before and at the same time we have had a net loss of jobs? The two 'facts' are mutually exclusive.

I beleive it is because the Labor Department issues numbers based on fuzzy data, for instance, people who leave their jobs due to retirement are counted among the unemployed--and baby boomers are leaving their jobs, so it is a true statement that fewer Americans are working...

Looks like Jonah wrote this before the ratings numbers came out. The debate got a 36 share while the two baseball playoff games only got a 16 share.
This rivals the first debate audience. But Jonah is correct on the substance.

The other trick in those statistics is that they count anyone who was unemployed for even one day as being unemployed. So, theoretically, you could have had three million people unemployed one day and then have them all find work the next day. This type of reporting quotes this as three million people lost their jobs.

Yep polls are BULL$HIT! Bush will prevail.

It's also been reported that Kerry keeps exaggerating the number by about a million. I think factcheck.org has something about it.
