W blew the debate, plain and simple. He had a chance to weaken Kerry sighificantly and he took a pass. The successes in Iraq and Afghanistan were barely mentioned. Kerry's 20 year anti-military and anti-intelligence record in the senate were glossed over. Kerry's anti-American activities after he returned from Vietnam were never brought up. When it was over I couldn't believe what hadn't happened. Kerry and Lehrer put W on the defensive and he stayed there all night. Unbelievable.
agree 100%
If you believe this poll, you have to believe that the Swiftboat ads, RNC ads and Bush flip flop ads have had to affect...this one debate changed all that!....Im not buying it.
Democracy Corps Poll has Bush up by two points.

What if the poll is nothing but propaganda? Like the Harris poll at the start of Sept that claimed "Bush's convention bounch is gone"? Funny how the bad new for Bush polls are treated as gospel by a certain sect of Freepers and the ones that show bad new for Kerry are "suspicous" Why is that?
Get a grip on yourself...take a break...exhale...and then rejoin the team.
You're not helping anyone with your negative attitude.
What's unbelievable is your idiotic "analysis".
