I told my wife Wed. night GW would be ahead

by Monday, it's early. He won the debate

regardless of what any poll says.

Verrrrrry
in-ter-est-ing!

Past Week (Bush +/-):
Bush - Kerry

Mon 51 - 45 (+6)
Tue 50 - 47 (+3)
Wed 48 - 49 (+1)
Thu 48 - 48 tie
Fri 48 - 48 tie
Sat 50 - 47 (+3)
Sun 50 - 46 (+4)

Kerry has lost a point a day since Debate 3..with a pause on Thursday. Looks like a trend to me!

Why are there no internals today?

"He won the debate regardless of what any poll says."

A point I have not heard made is; one can be a supporter of a candidate who is not a good debater, just as one could vote for a candidate who is not as good looking as the other.

There were no polls to determine the winner of the Lincoln - Douglas debates, but Lincoln lost the Senatorial contest, then won the Presidency 2 years later (while not being on the ballot in 10 States).

This is not a prediction, I'm just saying that, while perhaps 60,000,000 Americans saw one are more debates (not all of whom can or will vote), the better debater is not necessarily the better President.

I, for instance, would vote for Bush even if he hadn't shown up for the debates.
