That, and they want a horse-race, so they can gin up the ratings. It's Pulitzer and Hearst all over again. Ugh.

3. yeah, I called that
before the debate ever started. No way are they going to say that Kerry won all of them. They have to keep their "horse race" going.

8. When you've one three, a tie is a win.
No question about it.

Which debate did Bush or Cheney win?

NONE?

4. Yes, but a week later, Tom Brokaw will say
he NEVER thought it was a tie! In fact, he'll say Tweety was CRAZY for calling it a tie.

6. Personally i dont think they can call it a tie
If they do call it a tie though, that is still good for us. As long as they dont change the story to KERRY IN THE LEAD. Im fine with all of that

7. Why isn't Kerry slamming him on the rose-coloured glasses thing?
Bush is living in a fantasy.

9. Media will call it for Bush, no matter what!
Bush is relaxed, just like someone taking a test having the questions ahead of time.

10. Yeah, you told us Kerry lost the last one too.
Fuhget aboudit! We're going to bombard every media outlet in the country talking about Kerry's overwhelming win. They may try to spin it as a tie but it won't hold up.

12. It'll be a tie,
with Kerry winning decisively among undecided voters, and slightly ahead with the rest (4-5 points.)
