What a Difference a Debate Makes...

What a Difference a Debate Makes...one and a half little hours.

I probably don't need to comment on the debate - except that it confirms everything about Kerry's abilities that I've learned over the past 5 months.

The early result, Newsweek poll:

Kerry 47% Bush 45% (with Nader)
Kerry 49% Bush 46% (without Nader)
(Previous Poll K: 45% B: 50%)

Of course, buyer beware, as always. Who knows how this poll was weighted. I am more cautious about believing any poll now, after seeing the Gallup fiasco.

Anyway, it's good press.

[update]
Gallup now has Kerry and Bush tied 49% - 49%. That's a gain of 8 points from their last poll even with their skewed polling methods. Or maybe they fixed their methods.

Anyway, the important thing is it's good press momentum.
