FWIW, For High School debating I woulda scored Kerry...very low for his Ad Hominim attack with the Tony Soprano analogy and the passive aggressive wife crack.

OTH Bush's score takes into consideration that has a real full time job, as opposed to the antiamerican- gigalo.

"I was under the impression that out here we discount online polls..."

We do. And for good reason.

Perhaps you can explain how there were just over 200.000
votes in the 2 1/2 hours after the debate. Bush had a huge
lead with 73% saying he won. Then in the wee hours of the
morning an additional 1 million people got online & voted. In
an amazing reversal, these voters overwhelmingly picked Kerry
to give him a landslide victory with 66% of the votes.

How often would you expect to see 5x more people choose to
vote long after the event ended & in the middle of the night
no less, than those who voted immediately after the event?

That doesn't set off any alarm bells for you?
