If you prefer a football score, I'd say Kerry won 24-17. This morning I said Kerry won by a field goal. I now amend that after watching some streaming video. Bush looked like he'd shot all his talking points early and had no original thoughts later in the debate.
Oh, BTW, I don't know if its true, but MoveOn is alleging Gallup's owner is a Jesus Freak, so, in addition to discounting the polls because a poll based on something that took place 15 hrs ago - prior to most respondents' going to bed - is a piece of shit by necessity, its also worth considering the source.
I'd rethink offering poll numbers as proof of anything.

Agreed, and I point out that 3 other polls show Kerry as the clear winner.

Sebby, I know you like you're tax cut, but do you really want W appointing Supreme Court justices? A few of 'em are teeterin' on the brink (though I'd never pick one for a Death Pool -- they always seem to be able to teeter for a while) and the concept of a W-packed Supreme Court is just plain frightening.
I re-watched the debate on c-span, where they had full-time split screens showing both candidates.
This is the impression I got of W.
