for Harry Potter Fans, that is the familiar curse that gets your feet dancing uncontrollably.
James Taranto (of OpinionJournal) seems to have been so cursed.
Here is his 'Tarantallegra':
But in a postdebate Gallup poll, although a majority (53%) thought Kerry "did a better job in the debate" than Bush (37%), the results of more specific questions look better for the president:
| Bush | Kerry |
Expressed himself more clearly | 60% | 32% |
Had a good understanding of the issues | 41% | 41% |
Agreed with you more on the issues you care about | 46% | 49% |
Was more believable | 45% | 50% |
Was more likable | 41% | 48% |
Demonstrated he is tough enough for the job | 37% | 54% |
Kerry is more believable, more likeable and significantly tougher but that is good news for Bush!
