    The polls during the democratic primary seemed to reflect the Obama shift. I disagree that they are worthless when taking a large amount of them (from decent sources) into account.

    Real, how can you say Palin won? She won, based on the metric I thought she would be measured by going into the debate. But based on the post-debate polls, it's clear she lost, and in a big way.

    In a big way? How so?

    Are you talking about online polls? Like I said, they are skewed by special action groups on both sides of the political spectrum.

    Its like an ESPN poll on "who is the MVP of the league" or something. Naturally a bunch of Kobe fans go there and vote over and over again (or whomever).

    Xericx is right.


    Palin got her ass kicked so badly, Biden was still able to beat out those damn cheating republicans. Proxying bastards!

    Yes. that's it.

    face it, most democrats were just waiting for a repeat of the Couric "interview". No such guffaws on Palin's part. Its ok to cry.

    Chris Matthews had a good analogy. Biden won, but Palin beat the spread.

    I can probably agree with this.

    Biden won the SCIENTIFIC CBS poll 46-21. Don't try to discount a SCIENTIFIC poll, by calling it something it's not. Unless you want to start calling a telephone survey online.

    yawn, if you listen to the MSM.

    I watched the debate on a neutral channel with no fluff.

    Nice post. I thought Biden choking up over the death of his wife and kid was a really sincere moment. People can joke about his "waterworks", but imagine how painful that would be. It was easily the single most sincere moment of the debate, and Biden evoked it flawlessly.

    I was stunned when Palin just bulldozed right over that response. If you reversed genders and Palin had said something so emotional and Biden has plowed right past it without recognizing it for what it was, a lot of people would be calling Biden an insensitive sexist jerk.

    Anyway, that moment and Palin reminding everyone that she's been on the national scene for all of five weeks were the biggest flubs on her part, which is much better than I would have thought.

    Palin was shooting holes through the bottom of her boat with a shotgun until tonight. Good for her to point the gun elsewhere, and I suppose you can paint that improved aim as a victory. But it doesn't change the fact that McCain's boat is taking on water in a massive way.

    *yawn* you didn't get the Palin failure you were hoping for, so your side lost!

    the debates just strengthen the views of the candidates.....Palin was strengthened, Biden was about neutral....

    because all the "heartbeat" away stuff is bullshit. yeah, mccain is old. the odds of him dying in office are still very slim and really not much higher than the odds of obama dying in office.

    So these polls can't be trusted because they're posted by someone who supports Obama?

    Tell me what exactly it is that you find wrong with these polls, taken from a random sample.
