Kerry pulls even 

So, Inerrant Boy's numbers after the Republican National Convention were a dead cat bounce after all.

With a solid majority of voters concluding that John Kerry outperformed George W. Bush in the first presidential debate on Thursday, the president’s lead in the race for the White House has vanished, according to the latest NEWSWEEK poll. In the first national telephone poll using a fresh sample, NEWSWEEK found the race now statistically tied among all registered voters, 47 percent of whom say they would vote for Kerry and 45 percent for George W. Bush in a three-way race.

Four weeks ago the Republican ticket, coming out of a successful convention in New York, enjoyed an 11-point lead over Kerry-Edwards with Bush pulling 52 percent of the vote and the challenger just 41 percent.

Among the three-quarters (74 percent) of registered voters who say they watched at least some of Thursday’s debate, 61 percent see Kerry as the clear winner, 19 percent pick Bush as the victor and 16 percent call it a draw.

So, Kerry gave Bush an old-fashioned ass-whuppin'. More of this, please.

NOTE Bush, of course, is more the terrified, cornered rat than ever. So expect the smears and the dirty tricks to increase. And the plans for vote stealing.

UPDATE Who was it who said, "A week is a long time in politics?" Read, now, WaPo: "Poll shows Bush with Solid Lead". Heh.

UPDATE Orcinus tracks the slime these guys were throwing when their "man" was winning. Yes, expect worse.
