The most damaging thing to kerry that will play out is the new ad that directly calls the President a liar. Any bounce kerry got from a good impression made in the debate will wilt and waste. I have no idea why woman seem to vote for dems, it's an idicator to me of in general some real problems with critial thinking. But what I think and why does not matter. What matters is that those who attempt to figure out in general why woman have certain attitudes and opinion all seem to agree the negative at the extreme of calling one's oponent a liar will lose woman. By every measure I see as relavant, the economy is doing very well. If kerry rants and rants about his misery index, I see it as a very losing proposition.

Rasmussen now has Bush up by 2.5%. All of his interviews were conducted after the debate. rasmussenreports.com Overall, they show that Senator Kerry has so far gained one percentage point from the debate. It remains to be seen whether or not that bounce will grow leading up to the second debate. These results are consistent with the new Zogby poll, which gives Bush a 3 point lead when Nader is factored in. The Zogby poll is actually fairly encouraging for Bush. His approval rating is up by 2 points and the Right-Track (48%) Wrong-Track (47%) numbers are positive. zogby.com There is no question that Bush lost some ground in the first debate. He was poorly prepared and it was a mistake for him to spend time at the hurricane relief centers earlier in the day. On the plus side, the expectation levels are now so low that he is perfectly positioned to exceed them on Friday. I also think that Cheney will do well against Edwards. The experienced veteran against the inexperienced challenger. The teacher and the student. Both sitting at a table chatting. If Edwards goes "hot" on Cheney he risks looking overly aggressive.
