WTF? Another Draw?? Are people INSANE??
ABC (or was it NBC?) had 6 "undecideds". 3 for Bush, 2 for Kerry, 1 still undecided.


Wow.

2. Well, let's see. Six people polled.
What would the margin of error be? Don't worry about it.

3. Not according to Olbermann...
• 10:58 p.m. ET
Points Scoring: The Scorer's Table unenthusiastically reports this bout as going to Senator John Kerry by 12 rounds to 4, with 5 rounds even. On individual points, Senator Kerry is awarded a net total of 19 points, and President Bush a net of 2, having undermined his own effort with no less than eight points subtracted, three of them in a disastrous 12th Round in which the President had to be told time was up, answered a question with, in essence, 'all of the above,' and stumbled by inadvertently criticizing himself by claiming the borders of Texas were tighter than they'd been when he was Governor there. He also lost points for having twice invoked the 2000 election, and for once having given back at least a minute of time when the question hadn't really been answered.

The Scorer's Table acknowledges that the chief scorer was in a surly mood because he was kept from Yankee Stadium. New York leads Boston, 3-1, bottom eight, with Boston threatening.

5. CBS has a real poll of undecideds (not six people) and they
chose Kerry 38-25 as the winner. ABC instant poll also gives Kerry the edge.

6. CBS: 39% Kerry, 25% Bush 36% tied
A CBS News poll of uncommitted voters who watched the debate gave Kerry a 39-25 percent edge, with 36 percent calling it a tie.

7. A Poll With SIX People Is Not Only Meaningless... It's Retarded.

13. It was a little in-studio panel...and I meant...
that, after that debate, how could an "undecided" now lean toward Bush?

These people are as undecided as I am.

10. INCREDIBLE
How could ANYBODY -- I mean ANYBODY -- possibly say this was a "draw?"

How? How on earth? How in Hell? :wtf:

NO way that anybody with the brain of a flea and the honesty of a Newt could claim Kerry didn't win hands-down, smack-down, snap, slap, and get over it.

Even IF somebody made the idiotic claim that the Chimp made it a draw on the "values" of religion, anti-choice and anti-gays, there is NO way they can say he has the FACILE MIND, let alone the basic knowledge, the communication skills, or the demeanor to be the leader of the free world.

NO F'ING WAY!!!!
