Fox Hunt
I didn't do too many online polls last night (too tired from all that pizza--I was just so nervous, I couldn't stop stuffing my face), but I did check on the Fox News site and noticed that they didn't have a poll on their front page. Interesting. Today, Josh Marshall noticed an article posted on the front Fox News that had some very dubious quotes from Kerry:

Rallying supporters in Tampa Friday, Kerry played up his performance in Thursday night's debate, in which many observers agreed the Massachusetts senator outperformed the president.

"Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!" Kerry said Friday.

With the foreign-policy debate in the history books, Kerry hopes to keep the pressure on and the sense of traction going.

Aides say he will step up attacks on the president in the next few days, and pivot somewhat to the domestic agenda, with a focus on women and abortion rights.

"It's about the Supreme Court. Women should like me! I do manicures," Kerry said.

Kerry still trails in actual horse-race polls, but aides say his performance was strong enough to rally his base and further appeal to voters ready for a change.

"I'm metrosexual — he's a cowboy," the Democratic candidate said of himself and his opponent.

A "metrosexual" is defined as an urbane male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.

The article itself, from a blog-style campaign trail page at FoxNews.com, has been taken down, and Mr. Marshall has put in some calls and will post the original article in PDF format later.

Sheeesh. Some folks wonder why can't the Democrats play in the same dirty sandbox as the Republican shills like Rove & Co.. Frankly, I'm quite happy we don't. This is just juvenile and embarrassing.
