I believe Bush won the debate.

[Barlowmaker]

If you go behind the headlines and media spin, you'll see that your intuitive "take" is dead-on accurate.

The same polls that indicate Ketchup Boy "won" the debate also say Bush climbed a point or two in "trustworthiness" and "leadership".

That's the female vote. Most women who have their stuff together see a mealy-mouth almost-man like Kerry and go "been there, done that, paid the price and never again".

Kerry is every man who pathologically lies (Clinton, to my amazement somehow slipped thru the cracks) to women. That's why he's getting smoked November 2.
