Would all be shouting with one voice that the election was over and that the Kerry campaign was dead. The fact that they're trying to spin it as a tie tells you the real story: Bush got creamed.

Someone like David Brooks saying is was a tie means he's afraid of looking like and idiot saying Bush won, so he's chosing the only alternative.

...that most of them _are_ saying that Bush got creamed. Even some surprising ones, like Joe Scarborough.

3. We need to make a list of what they say and what it really means
Here's some examples Bush is a plain speaker - Bush is functionally retarded Bush stays on message - Bush regurgitates the same talking point over and over Bush connected with viewers emotionally - Bush taps into fears by hyping terror thread

Bush had many thoughtful pauses - Bush's brain stumbles around trying to push something to his lips

5. The ones who are spinning it as a tie...
...must have gotten their pets decapitated by Rove late last night while they slept. The fact that none of them can spin it as a Bush win is a victory for us, especially since this was supposed to be his "strong suit."
