Undecided voters are indicating that Kerry won the third and last debate: CNN 52/39 and CBS 39/25, with more results over the next few days confirming this.

Gee, claiming victory sure seems like an exahhhhgurashun. You must be using the internets or somethun.

Bush is dumb as dirt, suffers from extreme memory loss, or both.

This is one of those 'win the battles lose the war' things isn't it?

Won't mean anything unless this can be said on November 2 with equal confidence.

On Howard Stern this morning he made a very funny line about Bush's face in all the debates, "It just looked hurt and confused the whole time, like some chick who just heard you say you don't love her or something."

Now wait a minute, Peter, this is the U.S. Presidential Election we're talking about here. There's no need to drag Howard Stern into this thing!

That might raise the level of debate...

I always turn to Howard Stern when I need in-depth political analysis. Or when I need baloney thrown at a stripper ass.

Please, no one criticize this thread or they will be told to go back and read their bible or to that they don't care about world affairs. Face facts, this post is AWESOME, Bu$h is teh dumb, and none of you would have heard of CNN or these "debates" otherwise.

To quote mr haughey: are you fucking kidding me? seriously?

I like this summation of the debate by the editor of the National Review:
Some of our critics are taunting us with, "Bush is going to lose, ha, ha, ha. Face up to reality, NRO boys, Kool-Aid drinkers." All that. Frankly, I don't talk much about who will win. I talk about who should win. What the people do is their business. I'm not all that worshipful of the people, frankly. This is part of the joy of not being a politician. This is the people that voted for Clinton twice; that excused him and reviled Ken Starr; that howled for Elián González to be shipped back to Cuba; that gave Al Gore more votes; that has tolerated abortion on demand for 30 years; that embraces a popular culture of raw sewage.

You all just go back to your raw sewage, Elian haters.

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01

"I want justice...There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive,'"
- G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI

"...Secondly, he is not escaping us. This is a guy, who, three months ago, was in control of a county [sic]. Now he's maybe in control of a cave. He's on the run. Listen, a while ago I said to the American people, our objective is more than bin Laden. But one of the things for certain is we're going to get him running and keep him running, and bring him to justice. And that's what's happening. He's on the run, if he's running at all. So we don't know whether he's in cave with the door shut, or a cave with the door open -- we just don't know...."
- Bush, in remarks in a Press Availablity with the Press Travel Pool,
The Prairie Chapel Ranch, Crawford TX, 12/28/01

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

Yup, he (Kerry) did. He will and we can all have a happier next four years.

Good.

Oh yeah, and MetaFilter can get back to the good stuff even though I thoroughly enjoy the political threads.
