DailyKos : Conservative bloggers say Bush sucked

And, just for the record, FOX NEWS was the ONLY National News Network that didn't poll. However, "FOX News' political contributors largely agreed that Kerry came out ahead."

I'm sorry to those that refuse to admit it, but the concensus amongst polled "fence sitters" and political commentators from both sides of the fence (from Fox to CBS) agree that Kerry won.

More crap from the best source for it

Mark Frauenfelder:
According to Talking Points Memo, Fox News ran a story with made-up quotes from Kerry, then yanked them without explanation.

Some of the quotes:

"Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!" Kerry said Friday.

Women should like me! I do manicures"

About himself and the president: "I'm metrosexual — he's a cowboy."

Talking Points Memo has contacted Fox News for a comment. He's waiting to hear back from them. Link

Be careful who you name drop, Mr. Bush.

"My opponent says we didn't have any allies in this war. What's he say to Alexander Kwasniewski of Poland?" -George W. Bush, 1st Presidential Debate, September 2004

"They deceived us about the weapons of mass destruction, that's true. We were taken for a ride." -Aleksander Kwasniewski, President of Poland, March 2004
