Salon.com analyzed last night’s presidential debates in an article entitled It’s the IQ, stupid.

John Kerry didn’t destroy George W. Bush in the presidential debate Thursday night. John Kerry didn’t turn water into wine, and he might not have turned any red states blue. But for 90 minutes, John Kerry put George W. Bush on the defensive. For 90 minutes, John Kerry looked like he could be president. And for the moment — for the moment — a race that once seemed lost suddenly seems alive again.

John Kerry won.
