Your 8 year old must also not be responding to post-debate Gallup polls:
***Demonstrated he is tough enough for the job Bush 54/ Kerry
37
***Likable Bush 48/Kerry 41
***Believable Bush 48 / Kerry 45
***Agreed with you more on the issues you care about Bush 49/ Kerry 46
***Had a good understanding of the issues 41/41
***Expressed himself more clearly Bush 32/Kerry 60
On Iraq: Before Debate: 54 said the president would do a better job handling Iraq than Kerry (40)
After: 54/43
Kerry needed to bond with the American people. All he did was demonstrate (1) he is better public speaker, (2) he is taller, and (3) he doesn't know the difference between a Nazi death camp and an Russian outpost.

The debate ended roughly 15 or so hours ago. How scientifically accurate do you think those numbers are? Fuck polls. I hate Bush and Kerry and I'd score it this way:
Bush won the first 30 min.
Kerry won the next 60 min.
If you prefer a football score, I'd say Kerry won 24-17. This morning I said Kerry won by a field goal. I now amend that after watching some streaming video. Bush looked like he'd shot all his talking points early and had no original thoughts later in the debate.
Oh, BTW, I don't know if its true, but MoveOn is alleging Gallup's owner is a Jesus Freak, so, in addition to discounting the polls because a poll based on something that took place 15 hrs ago - prior to most respondents' going to bed - is a piece of shit by necessity, its also worth considering the source.
I'd rethink offering poll numbers as proof of anything.
