"People have been criticizing me since Thursday for saying this. I knew it the night of the debate. Yet WH Comm Director Bartlett is still on TV denying there was anything wrong with Bush's performance in the debate. Incredible. People need to face reality. And the debate on Iraq was supposed to Bush's STRONG issue."

People are criticizing you because you're wrong. Facing reality isn't seeing one bad debate and proclaiming the whole election is over. By many accounts Bush LOST all three debates with Al Gore, but people were turned off by Gore's attitude. This time, Bush lost the first debate, but Kerry has provided some huge whoppers about his positions.

Don;t strut too soon, my friend--your points haven't been proven.

I wish I was wrong. I have been defending Bush endlessly on these boards and in the real world for 4 years now.

The night of the debate I was cheering Bush through the first half of the debate and was convinced he was beating Kerry.

But by the end of the debate I knew he had lost it.
Numerous posters criticized me for saying this.

However, every poll the next day and since then have proven I was right. Even the FOX News polls shows Kerry winning the debate nearly 3 to 1.
Those are devasting numbers.

Facing reality isn't seeing one bad debate and proclaiming the whole election is over.

I never said that. I have said that I still believe Bush will win, if for no other reason than I can't believe Americans could elect a flip-flopping fraud like Kerry.

However after seeing the debate on Thursday, I and other Republicans I've talked to believe Kerry might actually be able to BS his way into the White House.

I'm still hoping this will turn back around and Bush will regain the momentum he had before this debate.

This time, Bush lost the first debate, but Kerry has provided some huge whoppers about his positions.

In the beginning of your post you said I was being criticized because I was "wrong", but now you are agreeing with me that "Bush lost the first debate".

Are you wrong too?
