MAJOR NETWORKS DECLARE BUSH WINNER OF SEPTEMBER 30th DEBATE
Editors
LB in '04 has learned that CBS, NBC, FOX NEWS, UPN and CNBC has declared President Bush the winner of the first Presidential Debate scheduled for this Thursday night. The networks, after conferring with Ed Gillespie and Mark Racicot, unanimously agreed that George Bush won the upcoming debate on both substance and style.
"Gillespie assured us that the President looked strong and resolute," said NBC Executive Vice-President Norm Vinson. "They say his message was clear and really resonated with voters in the swing states. I can't wait to hear it."
"This makes Bush awfully hard to beat," said CBS producer Shelley Longstaff. "He'll get a huge bounce in Ohio, Florida and Wisconsin once the people in those states hear what he has to say. It was like Kerry didn't even show-up for this thing."
The Kerry campaign strongly objected to announcing a winner before the debates but was ridiculed by the Republicans. "It's like 2000 all over again," said Ed Gillespie, RNC Chairman. "They lost far and square and now they're going to whine about it."
PBS has refrained from declaring a winner, taking the unorthodox position that the debate should take place first. "That's why their ratings suck," said Mark Racicot. "They just can't take a position or make a decision without 'getting the facts'. That's not what America wants in a news organization or a President."
