Exactly my point

I honestly felt the debate was a draw, to those who don't realize that Skerry is lying Sack of Crap. As far as content, Bush blew him away...

Nearly all of the polling was done BEFORE the debate.

That makes it even better. Let's face it...Bush didn't have a good news week. The Dulfuer (sp??) Report, jobs report, his performance in the first debate...I think he goes up from here. John Kerry may play well in Concord or on the Cape...he doesn't play well in mainstream America!! They don't LIKE HIM!!!

It's too soon for it to be influenced by last night's debate ... we may yet see W hit 50 on ol' Ras' poll. :)

if you look at the daily numbers, it appears there was a slight downtick for bush since the 1st debate.. then his numbers went up starting after the VP debate.
now with the great job in the 2nd pres debate, bush should continue to uptick!

A pre-debate bounce for Bush?

we can hope. With Zogby at a 1 pt lead for kerry, this could be an outlier and Zogby is at low end of margin and Rass at high. Still leaves Bush with 2 pt lead

Kerry didn't have a great week either:

In the past eight days, John Kerry has:

*announced to a national audience that American actions in defense of national security must pass a "global test";

*announced that he would sell nuclear fuel to Iran;

*could not answer, and badly filibustered a question on what he would do if Iran continued to push towards nuclear weapons acquisition;

*denounced as unilateralism the conation that George Bush put together to overthrow Iraq, and called for unilateral appeasement of North Korea;

*compared Iraq to Lebanon, but insisted a summit could entice other countries to join the effort in Iraq, even after the French and the Germans announced they would not do so even if Kerry was elected;

*twice identified the most pressing proliferation problem as the American effort to develop a new generation of nuclear weapons capable of destroying deep bunkers, thus equating the United States with rogue states like North Korea and Iran and proclaiming hostility to modernization of the American arsenal --vintage Kerry defense thinking;

*announced plan after plan for which no details exist;

*"absolutely" pledged not to raise taxes on anyone earning less than $200,000 annually, a pledge that even his most ardent admirers know is either a bald lie or a repudiation of most of his spending plans;

*ignored the creation of 1.9 million jobs over the past 13 months and ignored the economic consequences of the Clinton recession and 9/11 attacks while attacking Bush's tax cuts;

*while calling attention to his Catholic status, defended his vote against banning partial birth abortion, called for taxpayer support for abortion, argued that "parental notification" was connected to dads raping daughters and defended the wholesale harvesting of frozen embryos for research purposes --four positions completely opposite of Catholic Church teaching and far outside the American consensus opinion on abortion;

*actually said "John Edwards and I are for tort reform," and told the American people that lawsuits against doctors are 1% of the health care problem;

*defensively denied being "wishy washy," a "flip flopper," and a "liberal," while complaining about being branded such by the president;

*embraced the Kyoto Treaty and called for its resuscitation with amendments;

*told America that General Shinseki had been fired by Bush and that the firing had a "chilling" effect on all generals, and one day later said Shinseki had been "retired" --not fired-- and left off the "chilling effect" argument --a record one day flip flop;

*saw his running mate get woodshedded and his campaign try to reverse that blow by arguing that the Vice President should have remembered meeting Edwards;

*heard his wife assert that American troops were fighting for oil and many other stunning things;

*watched as Bush did not make a single memorable error in two debates while effectively underscoring Kerry's "global test" pratfall, focusing on Kerry's did-nothing time-serving two decades in the Senate, wrestle the ISG report to its appropriate place in the discussion of the Iraq War, persuade by repeated argument (which the Vice President also helped along) that coalitions can not be led or maintain by derision or democracies built by indecision;

*watched as Bush effectively and accurately branded KerryCare as an expanded form of HillaryCare;

*watched as Bush simply and devastatingly branded Kerry as not credible on taxes, spending and most important of all, defending the United States.

Even more important is Rasmussens EC Vote projection.

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/Electoral%20College%20Projection.htm

He has Bush at 240 votes, leading Kerry by 71 votes!

This is the first time he has had Bush in a commanding lead!!!

We'll find out if Bush's emphasis on ideology helped his campaign or not. It may help by stabilizing his unalienated base, but it would also brass plate the ABB crowd. Maybe he is willing to take the spread at this point.

Nearly all of the polling was done BEFORE the debate.

Then the headline needs to be changed to "Cheney bounce." The Bush bounce will soon follow.

Confirms what we all believe about the debate.

Maybe someone ought to give Fox News a clue.
