I was waiting for that one, and yes you are correct.
Just like the polls here in Canada, who showed Harper in the lead at one time and Harper lost, or should i say the conservatives lost.
These polls mean practically nothing besides the fact that they are interesting to see how people respond to comments made by the candidates.
I think Kerry's comment against Cheney's daughter hurt him.

Unfortunately, I gotta agree. Bringing up Cheney's daughter was bad. He didn't out her or cause any harm, but he looked a little petty. Bush calls him a liberal, he says "but the VPs daughter is a lesbian". There are millions of gay people in America, why bring up just one?
That was by far his worst gaffe of the three debates. [/b][/quote]
Its forcing the Republicans to put names to faces of the gay community. I agree with what Kerry did, he made a point.
When GW said "I don't know if people have the choice to be gay or not" all its doing is delaying the inevitable... because I have friends who are openly gay, ones who have liked the same sex since as long as they've known.
If GW admits "No its not a choice to be gay" then he would be faced with a ton of other questions - not to mention it flies directly in the face of what he believes. Heck if the bible thinks being gay is a sin, then why are people born to be gay? Why does policy have to dictate these peoples lives if they have zero say in the matter of being gay? Their biggest sin is being born?
