If you're looking at the graph, that is only updated once a day after trading closes at midnight.

When I first looked today Bush was trading at .684 and Kerry at .341.

When I looked a little while ago Bush was at .620 and Kerry at .394.

Hello,

My take:

BUSH: American is Best
KERRY: Global Test

That is it. Period. The American people can decide which vision, which reality they want.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

Also the Kennedy-Nixon debate in 1960 certainly made a difference.

A misconception that was pointed out on another thread.

Kennedy won by about the same slim margin that polls showed before the debate.

The first stolen election in my life time I might add.

When aids suggested to Nixon that he should demand a recount, Nixon refused, saying that it would throw the nation into a crisis. Thereby showing class that Al Gore can never dream of.

Kerry stopped the bleeding of his campaign by winning the debate in terms of style rather than substance. The door to the White House was not slammed shut in Kerry's face. Like a character in an ancient Greek play, Bush seems to possess some tragic flaw that leads him down a path where he snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. I pray that my opinion is wrong, but the longer Kerry hangs within striking distance, there will be more chances of an unforseen event damaging the President.

but those facial expressions are priceless

Kerry was so Botoxed he couldn't make a facial expression if he tried.

I'm angry with the President for his lack-luster performance in the debate. Clearly, he was unprepared to 'take care of business.' Those of us who speak up for him at every opportunity deserved better!

I defend Bush repeatedly against the insults of leftists at work and all their stupid little pictures that are unflattering of Bush etc.

But after last night, how can I argue with them? All these picture of him looking frustrated and angry and sour etc during the debate. Bush gave them.

I agree with Bush on the issues and despise Kerry, but find I am unable to defend last night's awful debate performance.

Fair enough, but when I looked not too long ago it was 63-35 and that's still ass-kicking territory considering Bush was in the low 50s at the convention.

Bush played not to lose last night and it's never good to be on the defensive. I think his advisers read him the riot act over his performance, and I doubt he'll be passive and defensive in the next two debates. It can't be stressed enough the fact that the President needs to hit Kerry hard on his senate record. The American people will not put in an extreme lefty in the White House if they know the truth about him.

Did you not see John Kerry's lipstick during the debate?

View this clever 3D animation to find out how John Kerry really received his LIPSTICK AND ORANGE FACE ... from a female alien.

(CLICK THIS 3D ANIM OF GUMBY AND KERRY)

FLIP-FLOPPER PAINT BALLED - RED FACED

She was to paint-ball his ass the bright orange that would make him the king of all his Swift Boat followers ... or should it be the "bad'est red-ass" of them all ??

She could not tell, from his flip-flops, the difference from his face and his ... democrapic donky!

What an ass !

This has probably been said a thousand times already, so I'll make it 1,001. If someone does not know who they are going to vote for in this election they obviously aren't following it or know nothing of the candidates. If there are really any undecided voters, I think they would fit in the category of the 'uninterested in politics' type and not even tune into the debates. I'll step out on a limb and say that I think the only people watching the debates know who they are going to vote for and have for months... as long as there isn't any major fumble by either candidates that dominates national news for days... I don't think the debates even enter the mind of the undecided voters AKA those not interest in politics.
