CBS Poll: Who Won The Debate? Obama 39, McCain 24, Tie 37


Woohoo! Now why couldn't the MSM realize that Kerry and Gore wiped the floor with Bush??

[smoogatz]

1. Payback's a bitch.

McCain should know better than to fuck with his "base." Looks like they've jumped ship.

[last1standing]

2. No, the media tried to claim mcsame was the winner. The polls corrected them.

I was watching as all the pundits were calling this a win for mcsame and I loved the look on their faces as the post-debate polls came in telling them they were full of shit. :D

3. I think initially the pundits were split on who won. But now,

one of CNN's main stories is "Polls show Round one goes to Obama"

Time says "Obama wins debate on strategies and tactics"

and now polls show Obama won the debate.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

6. Yep. They flipped when the polls showed Obama winning.

[Occam Bandage]

4. The MSM was pretty darn clear that Kerry dominated Bush in #1,

they thought #2 was more or less a wash but Kerry probably edged Bush, and #3 was a Kerry win (but less one-sided than #1), IIRC.

[Arugula Latte]

5. Whoa. Look at that likeability rating. 61% - 29%

That is a huge (HUGH1!!1!) gap.

[corkhead]

7. well, as we heard at least twice last night, McSame is no "Miss Congeniality"

[last1standing]

9. Yet his running mate is - Literally!

How fucked is that? :shrug:

[krkaufman]

8. Those last numbers spell McCain's doom

... better able to handle the job of President, if elected:

Obama 69%-29%
McCain 68%-30%

It has been the McCain campaign's primary mission to make Obama appear unfit for the Presidency, and they have failed.
