Unfortunately he's never regained the solid lead he had before the first debate.
Right, so, what does that tell you? I can't help avoid the conclusion that, no matter what the score, the overall effect of the debates was to buoy Kerry, just when he was going under. Well, I'm sure hoping it was his last mayday.
The next couple of weeks are gonna be SOOOOO slow....and probably, decisive. Forget the debates, we have not yet begun to fight.
By nailing the second 2 debates and by repeating Kerry's "global test" gaff from the first, he's been able to almost render the loss if the first debate null and void.

BECACUSE he never had that lead!!! IT WAS ALL MEDIA Manipulation. They OVERsampled Republicans in Sept to get the "Bush LEADING" story, then right after the 1st debate they OVERSAMPLED Democrats to show a "Kerry Surge" NOW to keep their creidiblity, you will see the polls creep back o where they have ALWAYS been. Bush 3-5 poins ahead. Ignore the stupid News Media polls. Watch Rassmussen, zogby and the PROFESSIONAL polls. THEY live and die on their reputations where the News Media polls are manipulated to drive the story line.
