2004 Presidential Election
Newsweek: "With a solid majority of voters concluding that John Kerry outperformed George W. Bush in the first presidential debate on Thursday, the president[base ']s lead in the race for the White House has vanished, according to the latest NEWSWEEK poll. In the first national telephone poll using a fresh sample, NEWSWEEK found the race now statistically tied among all registered voters, 47 percent of whom say they would vote for Kerry and 45 percent for George W. Bush in a three-way race." Thanks to Josh Marshall for the link.
A Curious Stranger thinks that the War in Iraq is Bush's Vietnam.
TalkLeft actually reads the questions the pollsters are asking and objects, "Objection, Your Honor, the question assumes a fact not in evidence."
Mike Littwin sums up the first presidential debate in his column in yesterday's Rocky Mountain News [October 2, 2004, "Littwin: Bush's briar patch and Brer Kerry"]. He writes, "I'm guessing no one is taking this harder than Karl Rove, who must have thought this one debate was all that anyone would need to watch."
