Ah, who won the debates?

The Senator the mellifluous dialogue, but made no sense at all or the somewhat curt and awkward speech of a President that on the primary issue of the day, America’s continued security, made all the sense in the world.

Solara - Thanks for correcting that spelling.

I know the 10% of the population that can pronouce mellifilulious, the 5% that know what it means and the 1% who can spell it without looking it up appreciate it.

But the real story is the Newsweek headline - “Dead Heat”.

What do you suppose the headline would be if Kerry was ahead by 6 points with likely voters?

Something like “Kerry stretches his lead” perhaps?

Big Media just doesn’t get it. We’re on to their tricks.
