You just can't make this stuff up, folks

As reported by CNN, a Newsweek poll conducted after the debate showed President Bush with 45% of the vote and John Kerry with 47%, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4%. This, of course, is interpreted by many liberals as Kerry leading, even though CNN reported it as "a virtual tie." One liberal in particular, "Busheses" on the Theologyweb.com forums, made these amusing comments:

"[A] plus-minus margin also means that he could have a bigger lead (6 points) than what they are giving him."

"I know the plus-minus margin of error could work on either way, so do the people who conducted the poll, that is why Kerry's lead still stands."

I really wish he were kidding, but he's not.
