I haven't seen any polls that called McBush the winner of Friday's debate

[Hawaii Hiker]

"Both John McCain and Barack Obama claimed victory in Friday's debate and are running ads touting their respective triumphs. Polling data suggests otherwise. A CBS poll using random sampling showed 39% saw Obama as the winner and 24% see McCain as the winner. An Inside Advantage poll reported a virtual tie, with 42% saying Obama won and 41% saying McCain won. An Opinion Research poll done for CNN gave Obama the win, 51% to 38%, with men splitting evenly and women going for Obama 2 to 1. However, the sample had a slight Democratic bias.

A poll on CNN's Website with 80,500 respondents gave Obama the victory 67% to 28%. An NBC survey, which drew 291,000 responses gave the victory to Obama 51% to 35%. Democracy Corps ran a 45-person focus group in St. Louis. The group was heavily tilted towards the Republicans, with 33% identifying as Republicans, 27% identifying as Democrats, and the rest independents. The group as a whole voted for Bush over Kerry by a 2-to-1 margin in 2004. Nevertheless, by a 38% to 27% margin, they felt that Obama won the debate.

All in all, Obama did what he had to do. He convinced a majority of the voters that he can handle foreign affairs at least as well as McCain, maybe better. All he really needed was a tie, because virtually every poll has shown that large majorities support Obama on domestic issues".

So Fuck You John McBush

1. There are a few Pundits beating the drum for McCain

Because they think insulting the other person makes you the winner

2. I can't see any space aliens in my yard either? Why is that? n/t

[POAS]

3. Because they are in

your weird neighbors yard!

[rzemanfl]

5. You may be right, my neighbor is really fucking weird and we

have a six foot fence.

[POAS]

7. Everybody knows that the aliens are

only 4 feet tall so your fence is adequate. Are they hiding the spaceship in the swimming pool?

[rzemanfl]

8. Oh Christ! An alien standing on the shoulders of an alien would

be like over seven feet tall and could be looking over the fence right now! Wait! What makes me think they have shoulders?

My neighbor doesn't have a pool.

[POAS]

10. Damn, how do they hide the spaceship?

[rzemanfl]

11. Cloaking device. eom

4. Good point. There's a CBS poll, too, having Obama as winner. No polls.

Only a few column writers. VERY interesting.

Guess who matters more....pundits or voters? heheheheheheh

6. Even on Fox this morning they were using a CBS poll that

I think must have been the closest one out there for McSame. It had the majority saying Barack won, and the next closest number was that it was a tie.

...their two “reader” (a.k.a. pictogram analyzers) polls were pretty much it. LOL.
