Post #298,029 by jay 10/16/08 8:49:38 AM Reply	It's certainly at odds with the polls http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/15/debate.poll/index.html ---- Fifty-eight percent of debate watchers questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll said Democratic candidate Obama did the best job in the debate, with 31 percent saying Republican Sen. John McCain performed best. The candidates first debated in Oxford, Mississippi, on September 26. Fifty-one percent of debate watchers polled by CNN and the Opinion Research Corp. said Obama won that debate, with 38 percent saying McCain performed best. The second presidential debate was held in Nashville, Tennessee, on October 7 and 54 percent of debate watchers polled said Obama won, compared with 30 percent who said McCain did the best job. ---- The polls say this was Obama's best outing. But it certainly didn't come across that way to me, to me it felt more like Obama either trying to avoid going into details or not prepped sufficiently on the details. Part of that probably reflects the tendency to think that whichever candidate you have already decided to vote for is doing better. But apparently a lot of people where seeing something in the debate I wasn't. Jay

The left right and the political reporter all agreed that the south accounts for about a 2% swing in that number with the midwest, ohio penn etc accounting for as much as a 7% swing from polls to reality. race is much closer but with Obama winning all 3 agreed. thanx, bill if lemmy and god had a wrestling match who would win?
