by 8 points?

The audience for a debate poll can depend on a variety of factors, including, for instance, whether viewers find it interesting enough to stay tuned, and what else is on television. Part of doing well in a poll of debate viewers means getting people who support you to tune in.

That's one reason Dick Cheney won the vice presidential debate by eight points, 43 percent-35 percent over John Edwards; the audience was seven points more Republican. (Cheney also did better with his side's supporters than Edwards did with his.) While not a win, getting a draw among a more-Republican audience adds luster to Kerry's performance in Tempe.

1. They're full of shit--other polls showed Edwards winning, and

so the meida spun it as a tie.

I don't understand this clip--it mentions Kerry at the end--seems they mixed up two debates here.
